Tomorrow..

A Dear Friend emailed me this earlier; why do I feel it epitomizes my life and its inevitable woeful climax..

He was going to be all he wanted to be, tomorrow.
None would be braver nor kinder than he, tomorrow.
A friend who was troubled and weary, he knew
Would be glad of a lift and needed it too;
On him he would call, see what he could do, tomorrow.
Each morning he thought of the letters he’d write, tomorrow.
And thought of the folks he would fill with delight, tomorrow.
The greatest of workers this man might have been;
The world would have opened its heart to him then,
But in fact he passed on and faded from view,
And all that he left when his living was through
Was a mountain of things he intended to do, tomorrow.

Umm, doesn't the guy die? So all the things he wanted to do are left undone, because he intended to do them tomorrow and that's sad, I hope that doesn't happen to me :(

lol you reminded me of a procastinating support group we have at uni that i keep putting off till tomorow.

hey do you think it balances out if you leave something for tomorow and instead do something pretty good today?

Of course!!! Cause at least you did something instead of bumming around.
