Yet To Come.
The future is often seen
with apprehension,
even shortness of breath.
The fear of change
can disarray and grip hard,
leaving quaking steps
behind in which
we skulk, lamely.
But if, instead,
tomorrow is seen
as potential for stretching,
slight excitement
percolates, enthuses
a feel of subtle warmth,
brighter then seems
the look
to future's view.
'The best is yet to come'
words of proverb
stressing loss of fear,
and sagely sound.
Advises assumption,
which never
quickly undone,
then tills the ground
with hope
which reaps
tomorrow better

"tills the ground with hope" evokes the idea of planting, growing, producing, and harvesting - a better tomorrow. But you face the reality of our situation: we have a lot of emotions to deal with, thus our attitude is most important. A very-real-to-life poem.

This poem has a very positive message and it's written in such a way that doesn't preach. Instead, it charms the reader into believing the future yet to come, really can be better.

The Best is yet to come is a very philosophical piece Fay..but one that merits consideration...the future is supposed to bring hope and it is best to look forward to it...your poem effectively conveys a powerful message

These words of hope are strong and powerful fruits for the mind, if we have faith in a better tomorrow, then so shall it be. I love your expressive way of putting your point across.

We human beings naturally baulk at the idea of change. If this poem were a mandatory read - it would change the attitude of the world! :)

The philosophy vividly expressed in this charming poem, Fay, is a quite true and valid one, one I have followed nearly most of my own life. One never knows what tomorrow might bring, but in most cases it is better to cherish it than consign it to the trash heap of our own past failures in life! Yes, the best is yet to come! Carl.
