Analysis of Today's Concern
Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)
The day before tomorrow
Might turn out really well.
But then it might have sorrow.
I guess that "time will tell".
The day that's after yesterday,
Might have a nice surprise
Or maybe luck will go away
As early as sunrise.
Today will bring what it will bring;
There's not much we can do,
But do our best with everything
And to ourselves be true!
