The Awakening of Tomorrow


Waking up one morning
open your eyes
and discover that the time running is
and nothing will stop it


Waking up one morning
and realize
fear keep you drowning in a lake
full of uncertainty,
by not knowing what will become of you
and the ones around you

Waking up one morning
and know that the day to make your own decisions has arrived;
go in search of right
see the path that you will follow
know which voices to listen or leave behind

Waking up one morning
and find that even though you're surrounded by people
you are alone,
that this is how in search of your destiny you will be

Waking up one morning
and think that perhaps will be the last time
you will see your friends,
know that it's time to go
and though much it hurts, there is no turning back

Waking up one morning
and see a new twist,
realize that you need to blow out a candle
to ignite another one,
realize that errorsyou will commit
and you'll have to lift

Waking up one morning
and see life with different eyes
have curiosity and courage
to confront
the rocks that might be thrown to you

 


Waking up one morning
and be the master of your life,
that you and only you
can change the puzzle
and so in the game succeed

Waking up one morning
and be able overcome fear
to undertake and fulfill all
your dreams

 

"The Awakening of Tomorrow"
~ Alma D. Casillas ~

Waking up one morning
open your eyes
and discover that the time running is
and will not stop

Waking up one morning
and realize
fear keep you drowning in a lake
full of uncertainty,
by not knowing what will become of you
and the ones around you

Waking up one morning
and know that the day to make your own decisions has arrived;
go in search of right
see the path that you will follow
know which voices to listen or leave behind

Waking up one morning
and find that even though you're surrounded by people
you are alone,
that this is how in search of your destiny you will be

Waking up one morning
and know its time to say good bye to friends
know that it's time to go
and though much it hurts, there is no turning back

Waking up one morning
and see a new twist,
realize that you need to blow out a candle
to ignite another one,
realize that errors you will commit
and you'll have to lift

Waking up one morning
and see life with different eyes
have curiosity and courage
to confront
the rocks that might be thrown to you


Waking up one morning
and be the master of your life,
that you and only you
can change the puzzle
and so in the game succeed

Waking up one morning
and be able overcome fear
to undertake and fulfill all
your dreams
