A promise

a poem

One of the lessons you will come to learn is that tomorrow will come.

In different hues;

and in a different way.

Tomorrow will come.

It’ll come in true fortune;

and sometimes in anguish.

It’ll come with its joys, its tears, and in truth.

Tomorrow will come.

One of the lessons you will learn is to be in today,

and of the certainty of the return of tomorrow.

Hair will turn grey,

and skin wrinkled.

Leaves will live to die,

and flowers blossom to wilt.

But tomorrow will come.

You will learn this and live,

because even after you’ve ceased to live;

Tomorrow will come.
