Have You Earned Your Tomorrow?
Is anybody happier because you passed his way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today?
This day is almost over, and its toiling time is through;
Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?
Did you give a cheerful greeting to the friend who came along?
Or a churlish sort of “Howdy” and then vanish in the throng?
Were you selfish pure and simple as you rushed along the way,
Or is someone mighty grateful for a deed you did today?
Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that’s slipping fast,
That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed?
Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said;
Does a man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead?
Did you waste the day, or lose it, was it well or sorely spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent?
As you close your eyes in slumber do you think that God would say,
You have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today?

Edgar Albert Guest was a British-born and an American Poet and writer of newspaper and magazine. He began his writing career in 1895 at the age of 14.His poems often had an inspirational and optimistic view of everyday life. Edgar Guest began his career at the Detroit Free Press in 1895, where he first worked as a copyboy. He was soon promoted to police writer and later to exchange editor. In 1904 he began writing verse for the Free Press under the heading "Chaff." He was known as the ‘people’s poet’ for his simple uplifting style of writing poetry.
The title ‘Have you on your tomorrow’ presents a number of probing questions to the readers about how they spend their days.It is a simple and common question asked by the poet.
Summary of the poem:-
In the first stanza the speaker begins with a question. Of all the questions to come this one is the most direct.It gets to the heart of what Guest’s speaker is concerned with. He asks if today, “you,” referring to the reader, made anyone’s day better. He speaks abstractly about a “him” the reader might’ve passed and helped or made happier. The speaker purposely does not define what this means. It is up for interpretation as it could mean any number of things.
Summary of the poem:-
In the first stanza the speaker begins with a question. Of all the questions to come this one is the most direct.It gets to the heart of what Guest’s speaker is concerned with. He asks if today, “you,” referring to the reader, made anyone’s day better. He speaks abstractly about a “him” the reader might’ve passed and helped or made happier. The speaker purposely does not define what this means. It is up for interpretation as it could mean any number of things.
This question is followed by a second, then later a third. The second asks the reader if there was anyone “you spoke to” today who remembers “you?” Again, this question could mean anything. The most important parts of these two questions are the emphasis on unprompted kindness and the fact that it is now the end of the day. The hours are running out for “you” to make a positive impact. The speaker emphasizes this by asking if there is “anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?”
The second stanza begins with another question. Here, the speaker asks if anytime during the day “you” greeted a friend “cheerful[ly].” Now the kindness is moving inward. The speaker is also concerned with how “you” treat those known to “you” as well.
In the next lines he presents the opposite, and pushes the reader on their own selfish tendencies. Rather than a cheerful, heartfelt hello, the speaker asks if “you” were “churlish,” or rude. This would also be marked by one’s quick disappearance into the “crowd” and a rushing off to another task. It is clear the speaker feels distaste at the idea of treating a friend in this way. He says very clearly that it is a “pure[ly]” “selfish” way to be. As if he is hoping for the opposite response, he asks, “Or” did “you” act differently? And is someone “grateful for a deed you did today?”
The third stanza begins with a longer question, probing into any help the reader might’ve given to “a single brother.” It is enough for the speaker if “you” were kind to one person out of the many “that you passed.” An action like this would be sufficient to have “earned your tomorrow.” It is important to note how this way of thinking is connected to a number of different religions and their dependence on “good deeds.” This is backed up by Guest’s tendency to connect his themes to Christianity.

In fact, God comes into play in the fourth stanza as one is forced to contend with how they lived.
In the second half of the third stanza the speaker uses courage and cowardice as tools to improve or worsen someone’s life. He asks if there is one “single heart” that is now “rejoicing” due to “your” actions. Ideally, he would like there to be “a man” with improved hopes and reinvigorated “courage [to] look ahead.”
In the fourth stanza the speaker states that any day not spent, at least in part, improving the lives of others, is wasted. It is “lost” if it was “sorely,” or badly, “spent.” On the other hand, if it was “well…spent” there will be a “trail of kindness” marking one’s path through the day. The last lines tell the reader (if they are unsure how their day was spent,) that they can “close” their “eyes in slumber” and think about what God would have to say to them.

If after considering the response of God, a reader feels as if they’ve done well, then tomorrow is assured. Otherwise, God might look kindly on the actions or inactions of the day and tomorrow might not come.
