Tomorrow Will Be Enough

Where are the butterflies fluttering in the summer sun? And where are the bumblebees buzzing in the garden? And where are the earthworms that were plentiful once when I was young? And why have the singing birds gone, leaving only hoarsely croaking grackles cackling from the tree tops? And why the barren seas and decapitated mountains?

Oh, why do I peer into the darkness of today? Tomorrow Trudy comes home. And that tomorrow will be enough.[*]
