TOMORROW
Tomorrow. For some,
it’s a blink of an eye. For others, it’s an eternity. And for some yet still,
it is what it is. Tomorrow is like waves that approach the shore with rhythmic precision.
While many wait for its arrival with great expectation, many know that as soon
as it comes, it'll be gone once more.
Similar to it's
aquatic counterpart, Tomorrow brings with it a bevy of unknowns. Tragedy.
Despair. As well as prosperity, and even greatness. As the conch shells that
wash upon the sand tell us of those that once lived, Tomorrow serve as its own
reminder that life is well worth living.
No one knows what
the future truly holds. But many can predict the contents of the day that
follows this one. "Tomorrow...Tomorrow," the little orphan gleefully
sang, is only a day away. But for some, it’s a blink of an eye. And for others,
it’s an eternity. And for some yet still, it is what it is.
