Poem – Tomorrow Things (By Chanacee Ruth-Killgore)

Tomorrow Things

 

I have this list

Started long ago

Though I cannot recall when

The paper’s crumpled

Folded and stained

With edges torn and thin

 

From time to time

I pull it out

Allow my eyes to scan down through

Before I click my pen

And quickly

Scribble a new word or two

 

No lines mar

These precious words

Each item remains undone

Every story

Every adventure

Listed among the “never begun”

 

Then fold it carefully

No time to linger

And tuck it back away

Too much to be done

It’s an ever-hurried

Life we live today

 

These

Are my Tomorrow Things

Each one held quite dear

But time pushes

Days pass

Till gone’s another year

 

My list peeks out

I tuck it back

Determined to hurry on my way

Before I click my pen

Decidedly

Just one Tomorrow Thing today
