choices will fade away

by angel

Someday you'll let your hair go gray
and wear it like a crown.
Someday you'll buy a floppy hat
wear it each day to town.
You'll greet your neighbors with a smile
and find that they smile back.
You'll share those tree-ripe peaches
you've hoarded in a sack.
You'll finally buy that ice cream cone
for the little girl next door
Who always looks so longingly
as the truck sings down the road.
Someday you'll write that letter
to your friend who moved away.
Confess how much you miss her
every single day.
Someday you'll forgive that old love
who ripped your soul apart.
At last you'll tuck his name away
to let a new love start.
Someday you'll cry your final tears
for the past that went awry.
You'll find the joy you seek in life
and see through clearer eyes.
But if you put off the choices
you need to make today,
One day, someday will be yesterday
And your choices will have faded away
