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.
