    Tomorrows



    As a child, I stood before,
    Vast futures, a golden door,
    Promising, to hold in store,
    Glory, joy, and nothing more,

    I saw the door, slowly close,
    Youth passing, unfolding prose,
    Paths converge, withholding woes,
    Chances slipping, moments froze,

    Now the door, slightly ajar,
    A solar crack, healing scar,
    Youth-charged dreams, seem so far,
    Now I wonder, where they are,

    All my prayers, heaven-sent,
    All tomorrows, came and went,
    Bearing sorrows, discontent,
    My hope mislain, life, misspent.

    There's some good stuff here, and your focussed rhyme scheme is effective.

    At least half the commas are unnecessary, though.

    Hmmm I disagree. I think most are appropriate. A couple are technically unneccessary, but I prefer to leave them in. This is the way I would like the poem to be read.
