If Tomorrow Comes

If tomorrow comes,
Our sorry situation will improve;
We will have a new lease
Of bearable existence.

Unless tomorrow comes
We will remain poor,
Sorrowing the livelong day,
Unable to smile deep.

Although tomorrow comes
We quake;
What if it comes
Without the needed remedy?

Should tomorrow come empty-handed
We would rue;
We already recall that today
Was yesterday's tomorrow.
