Believe in Tomorrow

Thegilded game of life is finite;

Alltoo soon it comes to end,

Andthe promise on tomorrow

Holdsno faithful guarantee.

Butthis affords no reason for

Forsakingfondest dreams. There are

Fartoo many wondrous episodes

Themind cannot foresee.

 

Fortunepales without tomorrow’s pledge of

Life,in all its finery,

Thatpromenades the passageways

Offondly fashioned destiny.

 

Andbrave imagination grows its promise

Ofa hope-filled fate

Wheresplendid fruitful gardens of desire

Patientlyawait.

 

Disquietfor the future

Isadept at stealing joy away,

Butbelieving in tomorrow is no reason

Toforsake today.

 

So,here’s a plan: to make a plan,

Toplead, pilfer or borrow,

Toface the trials of today

Believingin tomorrow.
