Maybe Tomorrow

The Sun had left the horizon Far behind when I awoke To face another pointless day Being destitute and broke Got up off my friends sofa Went and made a cup of tea Had a look through an old paper Just to find a place for me Saw a few that might be ok But I could never pay the rent Without job and accommodation I’ll end up living in a tent Maybe I could have tried harder In the classroom years ago I did not think I’d end up here How the hell was I to know I even served my country But that does not mean a thing Only when I need some shelter I can some old mates ring I don’t want to be a burden And it fills me up with shame That I have to seek their help When they are not to blame I keep looking on the bright side At least I still have legs to walk Unlike some other poor soldiers Who are too shell shocked to talk Maybe tomorrow I can beat the Sun And wait patiently to see her rise To fill my life with her warm embrace And her ever changing endless skies
