Tomorrows Not Yesterday

Tomorrows Not Yesterday

This nightmare drama so soon will perish.
I’ll remember the anguish but no  tear.
We  sort days for memories to cherish.
Yes! Resist all blatant aspect of fear.
Glimmering tomorrows will become clear.
Come join me! letting innocence unfold.
Put on the brightest crown to best your bold!
Follow instincts meeting new mystery
Challenge the waiting, believe in untold
Time does not linger, waiting history.
