BORROWED WORDS OF HOPE

     
     “ISN’T IT NICE TO THINK 
    THAT TOMORROW IS A NEW DAY
    WITH NO MISTAKES IN IT YET ?
   ‘Cause always hope for the best.

   So ! Hope for tomorrow better
   when life runs rough tough through litter.
   Today struggling as lone fighter.
    None is around to look after  —-
     Yet not losing hope,
      there’s silver lining in cloud
     though often, thunder being loud.
   
      It’s always nice to think for
      better tomorrow, when days 
     will commence to glitter.
     Adverse today is sure to alter.

     Today sinking in despondency 
     Yet why not to carry expectancy
      for a new day of bright tomorrow !
     As Joyous Spring follows morose Winter.

     Today’s mistakes I’ll rectify,
      to welcome New Tomorrow 
      dancing delight.
      Today I fight —
      New Tomorrow will be bright.
