Tomorrow

This day has not seen the sunlight
It feels the night finds no excuses 
For the darkness of this day
I cannot put my mind to bed

       Please.... O God, 
           lift the mist that fogs my eyes
                and let tomorrow come upon a bright sunrise!

Let new grasses wave in a new wind.....tomorrow
Let white buds blur our orchard lanes again.
Let clouds rise for a brief flying....tomorrow...
And earth feel the tiny feet of rain.

Streams will wash their pebbles white....tomorrow
Each shaken fern will yield a twinkling shower,
Meadowlarks will spend their songs....tomorrow...
And sun-drenched clearings will be glad with flower

The wide lift of blue sky.....tomorrow....
Will glimmer from beyond each leafing bough...
I will walk out into the woods ..... tomorrow....
                                                       tomorrow.....

Thank you, O God,
                 ....I will be able to sleep now.....and dream 
                                                                      of  a bright tomorrow...
