Tomorrow is Another Day

Today was a bad day...

I tripped on my shoelace,
And knocked over a glass.
I scratched my finger,
And my belt loop got caught on a doorknob.

I forgot my wallet at home
When I went out to buy groceries
AND, I ran into someone from high school
And they recognized me.

Oh, and I forgot to mention…
I wore socks that kept falling into my shoe.
All. Day. Long.

Needless to say,
All the things that can go wrong in a day,
DID go wrong today.

Thankfully, tomorrow is a new day.
Maybe tomorrow,
Nothing will go wrong.
Maybe it will be a good day.

That is a challenging day. I absolutely adore your self awareness. Yesterday’s emotions hold no sway over today. It’s basically the secret of life.

Great job

Thanks for the feedback! The day I wrote this poem was actually a great day even though all of those things really did happen, but I tried to write it in such a way that some people may read it as humorous, others may read it as "Don't sweat the little things", and for others to read it and be reminded that even though bad days happen, good days are yet to come. Indeed, hope for the future is the best kept secret of life.
