DAY TO DAY
One day, sure,
you know it all,
the next
not a thing.
Still not to worry
cause one day
joyful trumpets
will be sounding too
as you stand aglow
in some great victory,
admired and envied
by all until, oh yes,
the cruelty of another
day when dark defeats,
their teeth flashing
again, start crouching
towards you more
brutal than before.
.
Wait though, hold on,
cause one glorious day
feeling like all eternity
you'll find love,
soaring, soaring love
until, good God,
you're plunging
the very next
into pure sorrow.
And how we can bear
day to day not
knowing if blessed
hope's coming next or
just bewildering despair,
God only knows.
But, hey, who
ever told you
it'd be
otherwise?
