Only in the Mind

 

 

Only in the mind

Do tomorrow’s troubles exist

And what’s on offer for today

We often times miss.

 

Tomorrow is our focus

Whenever today arrive

And today is left unattended

In tomorrow’s drive.

 

Nebulous and uncertain

But it’s a natural obsession,

Tomorrow’s on our mind

In today’s omission.

 

Today does not matter,

Tomorrow is our priority

And today is just the build up

Thus, it’s full of anxiety.

 

Tomorrow is that bridge

We have not yet reached

But to cross it today we must,

So, the Father we beseech.

 

Tomorrows troubles

Obscures today’s peace

And living tomorrow today

Is unsettled release.

 

Be not concerned unduly

Re tomorrow’s troubles,

Tomorrow is unsolvable today;

Sorry to burst your bubble.

 

No one solves tomorrow

Until tomorrow comes

And it always comes as today-

That’s how the days run.

 

 

It’s only in the mind

That any tomorrow exists,

It’s today that God has given;

Do understand this.

 

Tomorrow's a bridge

We cross only in our mind

And its success is only imaginary

Each and every time. 

Therefore...

 

Let today be your focus

And walk in it as God directs,

Its tasks are more than enough

And so too, its regrets.
