If you are wisely using Time Machine to backup your Mac, then you can recover the file from the backup drive.

If you were in the process of composing your document and had deleted your text before ever saving that file to the drive, then there likely is no recovering your work.
Best practice when creating documents and files is "save and save often" and have a backup.

Had you saved the document previously? If not you just deleted the text for a new document and there will not be a backup copy of it to restore.
When working on a document a frequent ⌘+S will save the document as you go along.
