Analysis of One More Tomorrow



You bought one more tomorrow,
  from my borrowed yesterdays

My voice to sing with Angels,
  your love the music plays

You bought one more tomorrow,
  from my darkened yesterdays

Replacing grief and sorrow,
—with a torch that lights my way

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)
 From My Still Unpublished ‘Book Of Prayers’
