Today

Never know about tomorrow.

         Can’t rely on yesterday

                  To catch the brass ring of forever

                            On this busman’s holiday.

 

Sweep the floor of dusty sorrows.

         Cannot use them anyway.

                  Damn the foil of stormy weather

                            If it dares get in the way.

 

Do not be afraid to borrow.

         You’ll repay the debt someday

                  Before the beast of leave-me-never

                            Comes to steal your soul away.

 

Even when the path is narrow

         And the sky turns steely gray

                  Hope will rise with feathered wings

                            On gentle breezes of today.
