MY NEW TOMORROW
I’m getting long in tooth, but
I’ve realized most all my plans.
It hasn’t always been a happy life,
but I’ve been given another chance.
One day when I awoke,
I found myself looking back.
I’d always been forward thinking,
but somehow I’d gotten a bit off track.
First you’re turning sixteen,
then you graduate.
Soon you’re married with kids
coming through your front gate.
You’ve already been to college,
already bought your second home.
The kids are grown and gone,
then you find yourself alone.
You wander for a while,
trying to find your way.
Several wrong paths taken,
lead you to this day.
You’ve a bunch of yesterdays
with things still left undone.
But, very few tomorrows
to enjoy the rising of the sun.
There’s a lady in your life and
you’re now long past the sorrow.
It’s been a long and winding road,
but she’s now your new tomorrow..
