`a new year,a new tomorrow`

 

Tomorrow is always new,yes, a brand new day
and I'm thinking thoughts of fragrant flowers
blooming in the merry month of May.
in enchanting colorful hues
tho~now we're among these cold winter grays
Tomorrow shall bring us warm sunshine rays.
 
Optimistic? perhaps, that may be so.
but thinking pessimistic, only makes me feel low
and for me tomorrow suggests something new
makes me strive that much harder
 to make my dreams come true.
 
To wake up early mornings and greet the smiling sun
Organizing all my life's treasues
and making time for pleasure mixed with fun 
giving thanks for each and everyone.
 
Too good to sound true?
Well, maybe so and maybe not
Since tomorrow is indeed new
we should give it all we got.
 
because tomorrows quickly slip into yesterdays
time spins around all too soon it seems
and on this carousel of life,each day
you still must reach for that brass ring.
 
And when tomorrow's days turn into 'morrw's night
just like the sun, the moon, also shines it's magic light

Besides what's the alternative,
If tomorrow were not new?
Where would we be?
What would we see?
and what on earth would we all do?

Beautifully written! This piece is wonderful. Great rhythm, even flow, lovely language. My favorite stanza is this one...
"because tomorrows quickly slip into yesterdays
time spins around all too soon it seems
and on this carousel of life,each day
you still must reach for that brass ring."

I just love how you compared life to a carousel. Great work!

A great piece of writing

A poignant reminder to enjoy every day, thank you! I particularly like the line "because tomorrows quickly slip into yesterdays." We all certainly on the carousel of life, but at least you have the spirit to say that you're still reaching for the brass ring, and loving every minute of the ride. Happy new year! Happy today! Happy tomorrow!
