I was wrong Placing too many desires on the hopes of tomorrow Living for a time that may never come Each day lost dreaming of the next and the next And so I let go of tomorrow and I live today only Tomorrow will come It always does But I'll not miss another today for a tomorrow that I can't touch After years of searching, I have found I am nothing more, nothing less...I am in truth Just A Woman after all. |

I really like this poem and what it says...it makes much sense. I think I will print it out and read it each morning just to remind myself to stay in the day. Thanks. |
