Beauty

By Genesis Cespedes

This poem emphasizes the beauty of tomorrow’s uncertainty. Anything could happen tomorrow so we might as well just do whatever our hearts desire and enjoy the ride until it lasts!

The future holds the unknown in a crystal ball
Beautiful sorrowful nights that I can’t recall
How can I stay miserable when there’s so much beauty in the world?

Time elapses like a violent waterfall
Whatever happens tomorrow we’ve had today, after all
The future holds the unknown in a crystal ball

The golden waves driven to the shore
The little kids as happy as the sun
How can I be miserable when there’s so much beauty in the world?

The unknown is daunting, but never knowing is even worse
The clock is ticking, I better make this second worth
The future holds the unknown in a crystal ball

I swim through the wildly beautiful waters of life
It’s all in the sky, the rain, the air, the love
How can I stay miserable when there’s so much beauty in the world?

Tomorrow’s uncertainty is one of life’s thrills
I urge to make the days count, time won’t be still
Because the future holds the unknown in a crystal ball
So how can I stay miserable when there’s so much beauty in the world?
