Hope of Today

Paths forward lay in disarray Uneasy chills run up your spine Tomorrow shrouded by the bleak of today As you pretend to be more than fine Strength seeped away as the hours pass Hoping to forgive a self made crime Gut wrenching fear found in a crowded mass Wayward souls yearning for the brightest dime As time moves swift, hastened by want Mortal strife to pursue pure bliss Fame and riches obtained to flaunt Desired affection found inside a lover's kiss Paths lay ahead, you don't know the way Yet tomorrow is brighter by the hope of today.
