If There Was No Tomorrow

If there was no tomorrow* Hope could not glow to vanquish today’s sorrow. With no tomorrow to anticipate There would be no great event wherein to participate. In tomorrow’s absence Faithlessness is a logical license. Losing tomorrow’s essence, truly wondrous Leads to future’s futility, indeed disastrous. Having no tomorrow means no reason to live now Making unreasonable every present know-how. Amidst warning’s nullity caused by tomorrow’s void Vanity prevails with no worthlessness to avoid. When tomorrow can’t come Everybody will miss love’s sweet welcome. Bereft of tomorrow with its blessings’ bounty Mankind is filled with misery of anxiety. Robbed from the certainty of tomorrow’s assurance Souls face despair of grievous endurance. The Lord be thanked for His promised tomorrow’s grace Upholding spirits toward worshipful praise. *Exodus 9:5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
