The Day That Never Comes Poem by Jodie Hardy

The Day That Never Comes



This home was built on good intentions and promise
Time has passed and where are we
Still making plans and promising to do things tomorrow
Next week or when we have the time or money
So when is the day that never comes
Coming to take us forward to the places
We always thought we would be by now
Every day that comes and goes
While were stuck in our loop
Is a day we are not fulfilling our promise
Not to ourselves or each other
Nor to the people who we would be by now
If we had just done things in the here and now
The time has come to break the cycle
Tomorrow is too late to make the difference
We may never have the time or the money
But if we don't act now and tomorrow is too late
Then where will we be looking back from in ten years time?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I feel this is a motivational piece, to myself, I wrote it a few years ago when I was feeling frustrated that we weren't moving forward as quickly as I wanted.
Looking back on that time I realise that we were moving forward. Now it is a reminder to myself not to stop. Not to give up, because regardless of how things may seem to me, we are paving the way to a brighter tomorrow.
