If There Were No Tomorrow's

If there were no tomorrow
I would have no sorrow
The life I have had
Has made me glad
If there were no tomorrow
I have lived on time that was borrowed
The joy of knowing
Has kept me going
The lives that have touched me
Are vaster than the seas
Every person, place, or thing
Was brought on a doves wing
For everyone that has touched my life
Was a lesson and not out of strife
For tomorrow is never promised
So live your life and be honest
Every second, of every day
We always have time and pause to say
The words, laughter, and memories
Could fill a book for centuries

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
