We Wait For Something Poem by Gert Strydom

We wait for something
on the other side of tomorrow,
as if something special
is waiting on us in the new morning,
as if it is destined to be
the greatest day of all days

and yet today holds its promises,
holds the joys and delights
that at times is happening
and sometimes also the suffering and pain
that does shape us for the future

and sometimes being alive and truly living
is present in only one unforgettable moment in time.
