Tomorrow

if I could tell the future
I would tell it to be kind
we did our best with what we knew
we tried to heed the signs

the world is vast and we are small
as ants beneath our thumbs
i wish we did not smush them all
where they marched one by one

an olive branch to mend the hurt
that all the trees are gone
take my love my home my shirt
please let me move along

the world i lost
the world i knew
the world i never had
when one day i return again
i hope it will be glad
