What Tomorrow Isn't
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Here to live,
What tomorrow isn't to experience.
Today and now to know,
Tomorrow will come to go!
Left behind to leave,
A yesterday to have known...
Can not be relived.
With a wish to experience,
The missing of it.
Reminisced as if time here now to live,
Remains to stay that way.
For reasons not meant,
To cement sentiments.
Here to live and not to grow.
For purposes to show,
Nothing that tomorrow benefits to keep!
Reflected to accept or expect progress!
