Children of Never
I’m learning to live with what I can get to
Not strangled by the things I don’t
The things I didn’t do today
They can’t own me anymore
Escrow for tomorrow’s fun
Or become children of never
Oh, to love both like my own

Children of Never
Hi, Tim,
"Escrow for tomorrow's fun" - that's an affirmation on its own. I very much like the title. Puts it all in perspective.
Thank you!

(Is that an extra "to" in your third line between do and today, or is it intentional?)
