life begins tomorrow

when life begins tomorrow
you’ll wait for sunrise
and you’ll say life’s like a new day
with sunrays and roses
I wouldn’t mind having a few, you’d say

and when life begins tomorrow
you’d be waiting with test instruments
like a child entering cold water
or a nervous team on an expedition

life begins tomorrow
and you’ll wonder about all yesterdays
and inscribe all past glories
and hope for future days

life begins tomorrow
and you’ll be taking snapshots
and posing between trees and observe
the light does not bring out the best


life begins tomorrow
and you’ll immortalize the past
and romance the future
and wait in anticipation of all coming days
for life begins, as you know, tomorrow

Hmm, a poem filled with vibrant positive energy. More often than not we all dread of the days to come and dwell too much on the haunted memories of our past which prevents us from enjoying life to the full. Therefore it is always nice to start a new day with such positive thoughts, this one gives great wisdom to the reader.

I love the irony of this clever poem. If life begins tomorrow, what should happens today? Witty and well written poem. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Life is like a rainbow, Good from a distance as you enjoy; But try to capture it, And you have nothing to capture. Don’t try to capture life, Feel every moment you live...

Let your coming days not balie you This is not proverb but gospel very true Never to think of what may happen Never close your bag but tools you sharpen It mayhave tremadous effect Your daily routine may not affect It may prove frutiful in fact You have to think twice and only act

Memories of yesterday,crawls today and dreams of tomorrow benefits, A man imagines for better prospects and life begins tomorrow is a signpost to the wayfarers. Interesting concept Raj!
