Beyond Today

Beyond today, the dark awaits.
There are no doors or golden gates
That part to show tomorrow, bared.
We have to enter unprepared.
Whatever might be there we must
Still forge ahead with faith and trust
And when tomorrow is today,
We look around and sometimes say,
It's not so bad. It could be worse
And many times we will rehearse
Within our minds, the things we'll do
To make our future dreams come true.
There are no maps or guarantees.
What lies ahead may bless and please
Or disappoint us mightily!
No one can know what is to be,
But like a star that sheds it's light
Upon the bastion of the night,
Our belief in God will see us through,
As each tomorrow comes in view!

and Praise God, He goes before us, He prepares our way and is with us through every doorway

very nice piece, Betty

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Very appropriate for a day like today when so many seemingly face uncertain futures.
