The Shores of Alone

We always plan and hope and dream
so many thoughts, so many schemes.
Yet what if we aren't given it
tomorrow, gift of not done yet?
So quickly might it disappear
the dreams are gone-there's no New Year.
Perhaps today should matter more
and live it like never before.
How sad to be of sudden gone
and wonder if we did it wrong..

'Perhaps today should matter more

A lovely thought ...  

And Vicky and I have decided that we're both sooooooooo good
at procrastination ... that we can live today AND what we
don't get done will carry us right into tomorrow ! !
(and it often does ...)
Right Vicky ????  LOL !

Enjoyed the read~

Sandra, thought provoking sentiments. Life's too short, living for today is the only way.

Great verse Sandra! Our todays should mean more. We should consider what it would be like if it were the last. Thankful when it's  not, but it just might be.

Sincerely,
Regina

I've been contemplating this very thing for days now and it's driving me a bit crazy.  Kind of nice to know that I'm not alone...in the contemplation, that is.

excellent poem, tomorrow never comes. There is much wisdom in your work.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

I wonder...indeed.

"tomorrow, gift of not done yet?"
Love this insightful line.
Odd, our sense of time and tomorrow.

What a beautiful reflection.

How sad to be of sudden gone
And wonder if we did it wrong

Lovely. Enjoyed it greatly. Made me think-don't take today for granted.

If yesterday's a memory (hopefully a good one) and tomorrow's a vision/goal/dream, then neither really exist, do they?  But if today is simply bridging the two and can never truly be analyzed for its having passed before a conclusion is reached, with what are we really left...?  (I'll take a stab at this question and offer:  "integrity"...)

Powerful message......said so wonderfully.

Today matters more but one should not forget the morrow.....because today's deeds might very much determine tomorrow's joys....

Thank you
