What If Tomorrow Never Comes?

What is important?

We are all so full of bravado, accepting of what comes

Every day we expect to wake up and go to sleep

Each day we work and sometimes play

And life continues on this way

But what if tomorrow never comes?

πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•

If life were cut short and there was no tomorrow

Is there anything I wish that I had done?

Are there things that I should have said

People I should have seen before I’m dead

Would my life be full of regret and sorrow?

πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•

There are no guarantees in life

And so many crazy people running around

People with misguided wealth

Others who think they are king

These are the ones that will get us into strife

πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•

So come over her my treasured ones

Let me tell you just once more

How much you mean to me and how much I care

Let me hold you in my arms where you belong

Just in case tomorrow never comes.

πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•

[Author’s note: In these turbulent times, you may well have pondered what if tomorrow never comes. What would be important to you, and what do you need to do today, just in case? I thought about this last night. I live alone with my two little dogs, and they immediately came to mind. They give so much and ask for so little in return.]

Till next time,

Calvin
