Contentment with a Future Unknown
Upon waking up today,
I had a sweet reminisce of yesterday
And imagined what will happen tomorrow,
Hoping it will last forever
And wishing its end will never
Come, continuing on for always.
I used to awake thinking always
That the troubles of today
Would persist, and would never
Improve from the problems of yesterday.
There I would dwell forever,
Throughout every tomorrow.
Thankfully, I’ve learned that every tomorrow
Can have a fresh hope and always
Presents a chance for a new forever.
The things we do today
Do not need to be a result of yesterday;
In fact, they may never
Have a result again, never
Disrupting the plans for tomorrow-
Plans that the memory of yesterday
Had lied about, with promises of an always
That will come on the dawn of today,
Continuing on as your one and only forever.
When in truth, your forever
Is something that can never
Be decided upon today,
But will change with every tomorrow,
And with your power can always
Conquer the obstacles of yesterday.
But you may wish your yesterday,
One free of obstacles, would last forever,
And you could be free, always
Joyous and never
Worrying about tomorrow,
Living solely in the pleasantry of today.
Sadly, we cannot always have blissful yesterdays
That affect today and last forever.
You can never have the same tomorrow.
