Tell tomorrow it can’t have today
Not without fear of penalty
Or a promise to behave
Even when it has no reason to
In the milky twilight glow
But today stole yesterday
When it meekly looked aside
While stars painted the deep
And the line did not divide
Never to be seen again
But tomorrow can’t have today
Without giving something in return
Proper value for value
Couched in eloquent terms
And dressed all in white
A bride prepared for her wedding
For a day that will never come
If tomorrow has its way
But it will never have today.
