Analysis of The Present Instilled
Writing for tomorrow,
today is enhanced
Writing for tomorrow,
my mind and heart dance
Writing for tomorrow,
my place is affirmed
Writing for tomorrow,
my name is confirmed
Writing for tomorrow,
the future reeled in
Writing for tomorrow,
new moments begin
Writing for tomorrow,
old crucibles filled
Writing for tomorrow
—the present instilled
