If God Gives Me Tomorrow

If God gives me tomorrow I'll try to stop crying unlike this dark night where I fear that I'm dying If He gives me tomorrow I'll let go of today I'll hold onto the good things and the rest throw away In the grass I'll walk barefoot and make friends with a bird A deaf ear I shall turn to any harsh, evil word I will look through the skin to search out the soul for therein lie the treasures that make someone whole If God gives me tomorrow a new song shall I sing with the heavenly choirs our voices will ring Won't waste time with worry and neither will fret No more whiling my hours in pools of regret Each day is a do-over a brand new start to expressing your love and unlocking your heart So much to accomplish new seed to be sown in ground lying fallow where good crops are grown I'll do what I can to ease someone's sorrow by sharing a smile ~ if God gives me tomorrow

I was listening to Garth Brook’s song “If tomorrow never comes” yesterday and I can’t seem to get the melody out of my head today. I love your poem and the way you have ended it Michael. I lost my husband recently and your words took me on an emotional journey. It is very nice to meet you. Blessings
