If Tomorrow Never Comes

This poem is for the people, we have cherished our entire life
It could be an aunt or an uncle, a husband or even a wife

Maybe a brother or sister, a cousin or just a friend
Remember to always forgive, don’t let that love come to an end

Give them hugs and kisses, and love them oh so much
You can brighten up a day, with just a simple touch

Never let a mistake, bring you distant years
You could end up in a church, saying farewell with just your tears

Tomorrow has not been promised, today is what we’ve got
Swallow your pride and anger, you’ll be pleased you gave it a shot

Don’t let a difference of opinion get in the way of doing what’s right
You’ll never know if that person, will still be around tomorrow night

So true and such good advice, Mark. As we start thinking about facing a new year, this might be a wonderful resolution...to make sure we are on good terms with everyone we know.

It happens to so many, it’s truly unfortunate
