Tomorrow


I'm going to live forever.
The skies will be blue, the soil rich,
the flowers fragrant,
and all that I love will be well.
I'll wear the finest silks
flowing like the river Jordan
and the slippers on my feet pure gold.
I'll be adorned with diamonds and rubies
emeralds and sapphires
and all will smile to think of me. Mmmm!
Yes I'm going to live forever.
No more darkness, pain or sorrow,
teary eyes, sad goodbyes,
pulling tugging this way and that.
No more telling me what I may do
and not do according to your plan,
living my life as a spectator.
A fan in the stands if you will, No!
Babbling brooks tickling my toes,
long lazy days just to do nothing,
that's where I'll be when you come for me,
living for tomorrow
