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... ____________________________________________________________________
