Dear Tomorrow

By Dillon McDuffie Staff Writer

Dear tomorrow, it’s me                                                                                       

Just a small-town kid struggling, and unable to foresee 

The consequences of today that have been left out there for me 

I try to forget, and I try to move on                                                                    

Yet I still fall to the same routine, morning dusk to evening dawn 

I wander through the night, just staring at the stars 

Dreaming of the day when I’ll know just who you are 

A day, I question, if I will ever find 

For every time I’m almost there, you say you’re out of time 

Dear tomorrow, it’s me 

I’ve heard tall tales about the place they call tomorrow                                     

A place filled with joy, hope, and very little sorrow 

A place that’s worth searching for, in every nook and cranny 

For, for such a place to not exist would be awfully so uncanny 

To plant the seeds of endless dreams to many around the globe                      

An honest place it truly takes, this I surely know 

Dear tomorrow, it’s me 

I’m back again for one last time, just so you can see 

How much I’ve learned about a hopeful place that’s still unknown to me 

You can not spend all your days just hoping for the answers 

For life is not an easy road 

It’s a wire to walk and a journey to take 

Its left up to you to see what you can make 

Then and only, will you be able to see 

that enjoying Today will set you free 

Dear Tomorrow, sincerely me
