TOMORROW....Disguised as TODAY


My philosophy has always been TOMORROW always comes; it's just a matter of, if you don't see it, you were not planned to be in it. I consider my TOMORROW is always TODAY.

I had a conversation TODAY with TOMORROW and this is what he said.

This poem says it all....


I asked Tomorrow;

Why do they call you 'Tomorrow',
When you have never come?
You have always made Today
Beat you to the count

Why are you such a coward,
Why don't you ever show your face?
Always letting Yesterday and Today
Beat you to the race

Yesterday has come and gone,
Today is here, right where it belongs
Why are you still hiding,
Keep me waiting here so long?

Who really cares about 'Tomorrow?'
I am simply living for 'Today',
The day has ended and as I fell fast asleep
Another day named, 'Today'; in he slowly creeps

Then he boldly said:

I am called Tomorrow;

Why are you so mad at me ?
I'm always here waiting so patiently,
Do you really think I do not care
While to the Hopeful, I'm so dear?

Impatience makes you say such awful things of me
'Today' always comes as me, so disguisedly
You see, I am also fully disguised as Hope
Disguised for those who are patiently willing to cope

Please don't worry if you never see me come
Because ‘Today’ will always do my daily rounds
And willingly take my rightful place
So you see, I never, ever lose the race

‘Today’ and I work hand in hand for all
Especially for the ones who Hope and call
However, ‘Today’ is always given the credit
Because 'Tomorrow' is always judged on merit

Then I said to 'Tomorrow'....

Forgive me for judging you so terribly
I never waited around for you patiently
Because 'Today' is who I always knew
I never put off what I can do for ‘Today’
Because ‘Tomorrow’ always seemed so far away

Then he proudly said,

"I am always there for those who still have HOPE in me, I am called TOMORROW"

Then I walked on with a big smile, knowing that though I believe in Today and Now, that as long as there is a Tomorrow; Hope, Faith and Perseverance will exist and probably someone will have a brighter TODAY and TOMORROW.

Simply Appreciating that TOMORROW ALWAYS COMES; BUT always disguised as TODAY
