A Truth

When tomorrow’s dreams

are yesterday’s facts.

When tomorrow’s aims

are yesterday’s acts.

When tomorrow’s plans

are yesterday’s deeds.

When tomorrow’s hopes

are yesterday’s needs.

When tomorrow’s vision

is yesterday’s way.

Then today we grow

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: Western Australia, AUS

Favorite Poets: Favourite poets? So many, so varied. I like particular songs, not necessarily the singer... and the same goes for poetry. I can honestly say though, that Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman was what inspired my love of poetry - my mother began reading it to me when I was still a baby, and it became my favourite bedtime story

So true, so true

So often we worry about the future, then it's over and it's the past: which we hopefully learn from!

Ann of Norway Don't put off today what you can put off till the day after tomorrow, we say for fun here, as that's more like what it turns out to be ha ha! A neat twist you have created dear Judyanne, with the feeling of a riddle right down the middle while its out on either side where the mind has never tried to be. Ana Nya with love to you Judyanne.
