TOMORROW

The bell tolled on a young soul today
so bad t'was the first of news to my optimistic ear
So sad I knew him
I blame none
I accept all of it
Who knows tomorrow and what surprises it hold?
None
This is what makes your plans funny, funny to life
You boast in capital alphabets like circumstances took a loan from you today
You act like you sign God's permission papers
Great to know
Keep on blowing your horns
Not the small one, blow the biggest till all the air on your lungs are exhausted
Tomorrow is yours so keep making plans like the young man who died today had none
Tis luck, not hope
Tis grace, not schemes
Tis chance, not entitlement
Tis a lot to be grateful when plans come to fruition
But tomorrow isn't promised
I look on and smile
The same smile I held when the young man died
Tomorrow, who knows?
