Jeanne Mcgee Poet Roundel

If There Was No Tomorrow

If there was no tomorrow to see
  No longer touching delight and joy
    We could not feel the pain we each flee
       If there was no tomorrow

       No more a nurse, mom, kid or cowboy
     To not walk the earth a tragedy
   All the trees and sea did we destroy?

I could not hold or kiss you carefree
  Or see a child snuggle a dear toy
    Tears I would shed to fill up the sea
       If there was no tomorrow

Caren Krutsinger August 20, 2019 at 3:22 PM It would be so sad if there were no tomorrow. No. Wait. No "nurse mom kid or cowboy" - even worse than I thought. Best of luck for a win Jeanne.
