Failed Tomorrows
How tomorrow never seems to arrive
For the expectation remains the same
On wishful dreams our new days will then thrive
With hopes that with them will come some new flames
We persevere, working toward tomorrow
Perspiring in effort, that is in vain
We wish to cleanse our days of all sorrow
Yet, when the day comes, tomorrow’s the same
Lost upon the clouds in the sky, are dreams
As they then fall tragically to the earth
Then we mourn their death and silently scream
Cursing our parents for giving us birth
But, to dream again allows us new hope
Regardless of sorrows, we can then cope
