Now, Then and Morrow

What has been gotten today
Shall with time forever go
And it with whatever be forecast may
In doing good though, go so.
Today is not the promise of yesterday,
It is not the vow of legacy and glory,
It is not the talks of sorrow,
It is not the chain that unentangles and frees.
It is a promise of time never coming,
It is a vow of time never ceasing,
Yet a time promised that’s becoming.
Tomorrow is the jaw of rubicon
And it is something one cannot shun.
Tomorrow, yet a grinning of lips.
