If I Had Peeped Into My Tomorrow

If I Had Peeped Into My Tomorrow

A Poem by Nanette M. Buchanan
"

Looking into your past, present, and future, have you realized how you made it through

"

If I had peeped at my tomorrows, the yesterday’s of my today….
I would have cherished each awakened morning, knowing God was my lead every step of the way.

If I had peeped at my tomorrows the yesterday’s of my today…….
My days would have had no reminders of what I should have said or done…..
The complexity and challenges of each moment would have been lessons to be learned,
Today I would be well prepared, awaiting each new challenge as it comes.

If I had peeped at my tomorrows the yesterday’s of my today…….
I would have recognized my faults, wrong doings and mistakes
I wouldn’t have questioned my life’s detours, and hesitations
Today I would have understood not to waste my time on frivolous debates

If I had peeped at my tomorrows the yesterday’s of my today…….
I would have realized I can control no one’s actions. I could only be responsible for myself
Today I would have avoided making excuses for who I am.
I would have thought more of the items on my personal shelf.

If I had peeped at my tomorrows, the yesterday’s of my today……..
I could have avoided the hurt, sorrow and pain.
Today I could have endured those bumps and bruises,
and loved my enemies after their dastardly games.

If I had peeped at my tomorrows, the yesterday’s of my today…..
I would have seen what I know I have lost; the things I should have just let go…
I value so much, peace of mind has a cost. Today I believe; one will reap what one sows.

If I had peeped at my tomorrows, the yesterday’s of my today…..
I would have embraced my potential, my accomplishments, and my success.
Today, I know through it all I am truly blessed.
