I Love Ya Tomorrow

You're Only A Day Away

Dear tomorrow,

If you never come, I understand.

If I wake to find all of my tomorrows used up, lying next to me, scrawled into a planner, with all of my best intentions. Thank you. Thank you for delivering me from yesterday. Thank you for the clean slate provided each day, with the rising of the sun.

I will rest in the knowing that you were never promised to me, you were and are, a gift.

The tomorrow that held my plans, keeping me hopeful, when the days got long and stole my sparkle. You always offered something new, crisp and fresh like the sun on dew dipped daisies.

I took it for granted, that you would continually be waiting for my next step into your welcoming arms. The ones that promised and delivered second chances and do-overs. Never failing to pick me up and get my feet back on solid ground.

But, if you do decide to come again, I promise to do better. I promise to be better to myself and the ones around me.

I will wake from my dreams ready to make them reality. I will create a better tomorrow, today. I will stop putting off, what needs to be done today. I will make priority the things that will not, can not, should not wait.

If you come, I will be waiting. I will be ready. I will be...

Your renewed dream catcher

    So profound. Tomorrow is so full of hope. It is a clean slate to leave behind the sorrows of yesterday!

    Oh wow! This one is SO beautiful, Kelli!! 😭❤️

  • Oh, the fun I want to have with this one, Kelli! But all the jokes & puns that come to mind grow stale & fade in the face of this delightful ode of gratitude for what is & has been & yet may be. Such a tender, accepting, loving word of thanksgiving, filled with grace.
