Tomorrow they are calling for rain
But tomorrow is so far away
Let’s not borrow tomorrow’s sorrow
Lest we waste the sunshine today
Tomorrow they are forecasting gloom
Poisoning laughter with fears
But let’s not borrow tomorrow’s sorrow
Before today disappears
Tomorrow they are predicting woe
And skies that are dismal and bleak
Oh, let’s not borrow tomorrow’s sorrow
While sunshine kisses our cheek
Today is a day of grace
Today is the only now
So let’s not borrow tomorrow’s sorrow
Lest we miss today somehow

So much wisdom and truth in these words Janet!
ReplyDeleteCarrie, I was going to a 'what if' place and then I looked out at the sunshine pouring in, took a deep breath inhaling the glorious 'now'!
