Tomorrow is that glint in your best friends’ eye,
When he proposes a daring plan.
Tomorrow is that rainbow glinting in the sky,
Reminding you that you’re not alone.
Tomorrow is a fanciful dream taking flight,
All sunshine and sparkles and daisies.
Tomorrow is shining candlelight,
Flaring through the darkness – giving hope.
And Tomorrow is uncertainty and wonder,
Worrying us and giving us nightmares.
Tomorrow is a storm – with lightning and thunder,
Lighting up the night and keeping us awake.
Tomorrow is dangerous, and curiously
Out of reach – we may try to grab hold, but we can’t.
It struggles away furiously,
At the stroke of midnight each night.
Tomorrow is both everything and nothing,
Both a dream and a nightmare.
Tomorrow can be anything,
So long as we have the courage to get there.
