To-Morrow

He was going to be all that a mortal should be
      To-morrow.
  No one should be kinder or braver than he
      To-morrow.
  A friend who was troubled and weary he knew,
  Who’d be glad of a lift and who needed it, too;
  On him he would call and see what he could do
      To-morrow.

  Each morning he stacked up the letters he’d
    write
      To-morrow.
  And thought of the folks he would fill with
    delight
      To-morrow.
  It was too bad, indeed, he was busy to-day,
  And hadn’t a minute to stop on his way;
  More time he would have to give others, he’d
    say,
      To-morrow.

  The greatest of workers this man would have
    been
      To-morrow.
  The world would have known him, had he ever
    seen
      To-morrow.
  But the fact is he died and he faded from view,
  And all that he left here when living was
    through
  Was a mountain of things he intended to do
      To-morrow.
