Today and Tomorrow

Big dreams, great desires, much hope

All things hung on my neck like a rope

They’ll come true; I’ll walk in them I know

The wishing bubble continues to grow

Castles in the air calling for foundation

Voices in my head, magma inundation

Sometimes it wants to weigh me down

Sitting on me like a heavy crown

Or like a mighty cloud blocking the light

That around me even now shines bright

It tends to cast on today a shadow

Is this a search for the illusive rainbow

Hope must not wane so I hold to faith

But while I wait and anticipate

Lord with heart and soul I pray

Don’t let tomorrow rob me of today

So I resolve to enjoy each day

And day by day God’s word to say

Because the now can be deceiving

And the best to come the good limiting

Now is time to seed and weed

Tomorrow will be season for yield

Today’s chore is responsibility

The future promises festivity

No time to laze, balance is the treasure

Everything done in appropriate measure

And if now lacks the spark

Find the light to stay on track

Hope deferred is taxing so I decide

To live this life till satisfied

My future will not be hollow

I won’t let today rob me of tomorrow
