Finding strength to continue ... (Form: Fox Septet)
Tomorrow

Tomorrow.
This daily mantra
gives him strength to continue.
Poor and struggling in the here and now,
his hands work for the future;
a dream that he holds
secretly
in his heart and mind.
A dream he gently touches
as he kneels in silent prayer by his
sleeping children in the dark.
Wiping tears, he says,
Tomorrow.
