No One Is Promised Tomorrow
No One is Promised Tomorrow
Today is the only certainty we know,
No one is promised tomorrow.
Today, we may be full of health,
Tomorrow, we may be face to face with death.
Today, we may be hale and hearty,
Tomorrow may be our funeral party.
Whether we wish to live till ninety,
With death, each of us has signed a treaty.
No one is promised tomorrow,
For each day has its own share of joy and sorrow.
Today is the only certainty we know,
No one is promised tomorrow.
So let’s live today like it may be the last day,
For tomorrow may never come your way.
