How tomorrow moves
I do not know–
always coming, never going,
and somehow not quite arriving.
We long for tomorrow–
Tomorrow will be better, we claim–
but tomorrow never gets here:
One moment we say “tomorrow”;
the next, it’s “today”.
And why do we think
tomorrow will be better?
Perhaps it’ll be worse.
And how do we know we won’t die
before tomorrow becomes today?
My feeble human mind
cannot comprehend tomorrow,
and perhaps the more I consider
the less I understand!
But this I know and believe:
God Almighty fully knows
how tomorrow moves.
