Tomorrow is not Guaranteed

Make Heaven on Earth

There is one tragic truth to life:

Either you outlive everyone you love

Or they end up outliving you

Very few leave this world together

Very few spend their entire lives as one

At some point, we all must separate

And say goodbye to those we care for most

Whether we are the ones leaving

Or we are the ones left behind

And who knows what we will find

When we’re on the other side?

Perhaps we will be reunited

Perhaps we will be suspended indefinitely

Perhaps we will be gone—nothing

We do not know what lies beyond

Those final goodbyes

So cherish what you have today

Tomorrow is not guaranteed

And forever is not what it seems
