Believe in Tomorrow

The gilded game of life is finite;

All too soon it comes to end,

And the promise on tomorrow

Holds no faithful guarantee.

But this affords no reason for

Forsaking fondest dreams. There are

Far too many wondrous episodes

The mind cannot foresee.

 

Fortune pales without tomorrow’s pledge of

Life, in all its finery,

That promenades the passageways

Of fondly fashioned destiny.

 

And brave imagination grows its promise

Of a hope-filled fate

Where splendid fruitful gardens of desire

Patiently await.

 

Disquiet for the future

Is adept at stealing joy away,

But believing in tomorrow is no reason

To forsake today.

 

So, here’s a plan: to make a plan,

To plead, pilfer or borrow,

To face the trials of today

Believing in tomorrow.
