Without a name; an unseen face and knowing not your time nor place
Tomorrow'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 thinking for I never had an inkling
That perhaps the things I do might someday, somehow, threaten you.

Tomorrow's Child, my daughter-son I'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 cost of what I squander; what is lost
If ever I forget that you will someday come to live here too.
