"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not."

What is Tomorrow?

Tammy D. Thompson

It's the today we have wished for

Or one we didn't want to show

It's the future that quickly becomes

The today that we all know.

It's another day, soon the present

But a day away,

Always coming so quickly

But one that will not stay.

You see time's hourglass sifts faster

Than we realize in the end.

Sometimes the fast pace is our enemy

But sometimes our best friend.

So what is tomorrow?

Is it the today, come and gone

Only waiting for another

Until another one is shown.

Just treasure each present day

For the tomorrow we long to see

Will be here before we know it.

Then soon enough will leave.

Drops of rain falling, I start Listening and wondering if God is crying for someone.

Days pass and I watch the beautiful sun rise and shine brighter than ever, and it made me wonder if he was finally smiling for someone's happiness.

Then early one morning I find myself alone and in a quiet place, then I heard it. I heard a beautiful song from a bird outside my window. Then I wondered if that was God singing through such a beautiful creature.

You see, in everything, he exists if you take the time to notice.

BELIEVE AND BELIEVE

Some days when storm clouds find their way

Into my daily life,

I pull out my umbrella of faith

And battle through my strife.

I find the smile deep within

From the things I'm blessed to hold,

And tread throughout the day

Full of a positive attitude so bold.

Some days when problems multiply,

When my mind gets boggled entwinned...

I have to stop and think again

And what I find...

Is the direction I am going

Is one I choose for me,

So on those days...what I do..

Is believe and believe.

So when I think I can't go on...

I look up and see,

A beauty above any other...

Then I believe and believe.

THE LIGHT

The world unfolds before my eyes

Though scary as it may be

I see children who need to be loved

Those captive of hate needing to be free.

Unfolds many husbands and wives

Straying to places unknown

But as the Bible clearly says

You will reap what you have sewn.

As it shows a little clearer

Ahead I see the brightest light,

It guides my way as I walk...

As my blindness turns to sight.

Now unfolded, everything

From the brave, the greedy and the wise,

And as I reach and touch the light

It wasn't a surprise.

It filled me full of love and peace

For no matter what unfolds on earth for me

I know where I can find the light

That will always set me free.

NOW

We wander about from day to day,

With thoughts of next week, next year...

We plan trips and hold grudges

Thinking time will always be here.

We wake each morning, grouchy

Instead of proud we opened our eyes.

We want more and more, I know

To me, that's no surprise...

But I can see the fault in it all

I see clearly, I do somehow...

For no matter what you see in the future

All we really have...is NOW!

I dedicate this poem to Becky West, my best friends mother who is losing a battle for life, but my prayers are always with her and her family... We love you 'Becky!!

I FLY AWAY

I fly away when I close my eyes to places only dreams can go...

I see perfect lands and sunsets Then the sun in the morn as it grows...

I fly away to my past when as a child I knew it all,

When mom and dad were always wrong, but would still catch me when I'd fall.

I fly away to imagination to places that could never be,

For when I fly away like that, it's only then that I see....

Exactly where my heart is, my hopes and dreams hold dear.

I fly away each and every night to find another place so dear...

I fly away, but wake again and greet another day,

Until the night when eyes shall close and again, I fly away
