What Will Tomorrow Bring

I lie here awake tonight
Waiting till the morning light
Anticipating what will come
When day dawns and brings the sun

Fantasy will always reach
Farther than realities grip
But the universe fails not to teach
Us what we need for this long trip

I used to live a life most fearsome
Everyday dreading what will come
I'm not sure when this did change
Now I look forward to the sun

What will tomorrow bring?
A new chance to play and sing?
A beautiful face graced by a smile
Inviting you in to stay a while

Working hard to live a dream
Is not as hard as it may seem
When your moments are filled with joy
And your gifts are fully in your employ

Tomorrow what may come to pass?
Goals achieved and success at last?
Or another chance to prove yourself
That you live now and not in the past

What will tomorrow bring?
Something that means everything
As the future becomes more clear
Hold to those that you hold dear
