Analysis of Tomorrow Will Be Better
Today your sky is falling. Your walls are closing in.
Tomorrow will be better than it's ever been.
Today your heart is aching. Your turtledove is gone.
Tomorrow will be better from the break of dawn.
Today your job is daunting. Your work is arduous.
Tomorrow will be better than the glorious.
Today your mood is pining. Your tone is despondent.
Tomorrow will be better from the refulgent.
Today your fame is fading. Your name is simply mud.
Tomorrow will be better than a burgeon bud.
Today your wealth is failing. Your bank is in default.
Tomorrow will be better from the first result.
Today your hope is sinking. Your faith is frangible.
Tomorrow will be better with things tangible.
