Notes About The Poem

Every once in a while I encourage my husband to collaborate with me to create a poem. I gave him the prompt "what if tomorrow never comes"... Considering he is struggling with cancer, I'm sure I will always treasure this poem.

Seasoned Yesterdays

Facing west not to ever miss a sunset
I close my eyes to imbibe its warmth
And listen to the symphony of nature
Soak in its every beat

I kissed my wife goodnight
Expressed how much I love her
What if tomorrow never comes
