Tommorrow Never Comes
By Naida M. Freudenberg
Jersey City

The sun is sinking in the West,
And the close of day is nigh
Can I say to myself: I have done my best,
Or did I not even try?

"I'll do what I can tomorrow," I say,
Yet when the new day is here
I find that my thoughts are to busy with play
To think of the pledge that I made so sincere.

So as each day goes past, I see
That the good I intended to do -
Is put off until "tomorrow" -
Ending in a pledge anew.
