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...
