Maybe Tomorrow

The day, I felt the heat upon,
After I saw the morning gone.
I knew the time was coming soon,
Only a little after noon.

So there I stayed and waited so.
My feet had not a place to go.
It will be soon, I made a vow,
Only a little time from now.

Hours passed and hours spent,
I stayed and watched the day’s descent.
Needing to wait a little more,
Only a little after four.

It never came, no, not today,
For I must wait another day.
As this one comes to a close,
We’ll see how tomorrow goes.
