"Tomorrow" Poem

I wrote this during Sacrament Meeting. It's a poem about hope.

"Tomorrow"

Yesterday,
I touched a rose
Blooming in the sun.

Yesterday,
I felt the sun,
Shining in the sky.

Yesterday,
I saw the sky
Clear as water's spring.

Yesterday,
It was spring
A happy, bright new world.

Yesterday,
I held the world
And you inside my arms.

Now today,
Winter's come
Mother nature's bitter shun.

Today,
The sky was overcast
The emptiness inside me vast.

Today,
I lost a loved one
Just like the golden sun.

Today,
You took the chance
And left without a backward glance.

Today,
I am all alone
With a broken heart you once called home.

But tonight,
As I watched you go,
I realized that, for me, there's still hope.

That tomorrow,
When spring reappears,

I will touch a rose
Blooming in the sun...
