Tomorrow

Today,

I will to do what I can,

for tomorrow is promised not to man.

***

The Sun will shine,

and the Moon will glow...

... but what Tomorrow holds,

I do not know.

***

The stars still shine,

the oceans gleam;

ever excluding my hopes and dreams.

***

I will!

I shall,

I'll conquer!

I demand.

***

Proclamations of Self,

to do all I've planned.

***

But, never reaching those things

I soon decree.

For these things,

and even Life,

are not promised to me.

***

Desires unfulfilled,

Wishes faded.

All that I've longed for,

abruptly evaded.

***

So, with every precious moment,

I'll live for Today.

With words from my lips,

It's now what I say.

***

I yield and submit,

I affirm and understand, that....

...Life has not the master plan,

but the Plan is in The Master's Hands.
