If
Tomorrow
Doesn't
Come
If we had no tomorrow,
We’d cherish more each day.
And from the past we’d borrow
the hope that fades away.
All the energy we’ve saved
for a lifetime filled with years
and the goals that we had craved
are now released with tears.
An introspective mood
reminds us where we’ve been.
And as our life’s reviewed,
catharsis can begin.
I prepare to feel the pain
that I caused friend and foe.
Understanding I will gain
from misdeeds long ago.
One final act – a plea
that my sins are forgiven,
and by a grand decree
God welcomes me in heaven.
