We expect our spouses
to love, honor, and obey.
We expect our children
to be happy when they play.
We expect tomorrow
to be better than today.
We expect our boss
to give us
an undeserved raise.
We expect our friends
to always admire and praise.
We expect to forever walk
the bright and sunny ways.
We expect tomorrow
to be better than today.
But if we only live
on the expectations
of what tomorrow
may or may not bring,
we will miss out
on the most important thing,
we will miss out on today.
