Poem by Dr. Art Williams

Don’t Wait Too Late

What will you be doing tomorrow,
If tomorrow is just like today?
What kind of life will you be living,
If you continue living the same way?

You are where you’ve been coming to-
It always works out that way.
And you’ll be right where you’re headed,
Unless you change today.

Oh many have said, “I’ll make that change,”
And then decided some other day.
But “other day,” for them, it never came
Before their lives were swept away.

What if that city, that silent city,
Could speak to us some way?
Why don’t you know that millions would say,
“Don’t wait another day!”

“For I waited, and I waited too long,” they’d say.
“For me, it’s now too late!”
What about you, my brother, sister, friend-
Why on earth do you wait?

Make the choice, the wisest choice,
That leads to life - don’t wait.
Make it now - as early, as soon as you can.
Don’t be one who waited too late.
