The Future

We’ve always a friend in the future
In the years that stretch on ahead.
There’s always a toast for tomorrow
With its lightsome pledge
Of life, laughter and love
And paths girt with roses red.

But here’s to what lies behind us as well—
Its hell-swept wastes and its sunlit lands.
A fearsome thing is the thread of fate—
But of silken mesh
And kindly, golden store
To the soul who understands.
