TOMORROW’S CHILDWithout a name; and unseen face
and knowing not your time nor placeTomorrow’s Child, though yet unborn,
I met you first last Tuesday morn.
A wise friend introduced us two,and through his shining point of view
I saw a day which you would see;A day for you, and not for me
Knowing you has changed my thinkingfor I never had an inkling
that perhaps the things I domight someday, somehow, threaten you
Tomorrow’s child, my daughter-sonI’m afraid I’ve just begun
To think of you and of your good,Though always having known I should.
Begin I will to weigh the costOf what I squander; what is lost
If ever I forget that youwill someday come to live here too.
- Suhit Anantula
