Tomorrow

poem by: Gerry Legister
Written on Jun 27, 2016

We watch new opportunities reveal 
Our dreams and hopes that are real.
Most of it will retire as just fantasy,
Before we go seriously into our sanctuary.
And leave afternoon to shred below
The dew of moonlight for tomorrow.
And although; life may not go right
With sorrows piling up every night.  
If we live with this new day in view
There is always hope for tomorrow.
When we invite again our distant goals
Take the journey and see where it unfolds.
To draw the bulk of treasures nearer,
Being hungry and thirsty for adventure.
We close the gaps and cross life’s beaches
In search of zones where the sky reaches.
To see upon whose land mortals will stand
When choices leave only hope to live on.
Become strong with Gods wonderful plan,
Let the rule of our hearts guide our hand,
Wipe the signs of brittle tears from our eyes,  
Store the silent sighs among our treasures.
If our lives could change the world outside,
And we never tried; those dreams will die inside.
But tomorrow gives everyone the same chance,
To live abundantly and make the difference.
For we are wonderfully made to live this life,
We wait briefly as weeping willows in grief.
So make the most out of today in every way,
For tomorrow will be another personal day.
To grim and grind until we finally unwind,
In the silhouette of sleep for a little time.
