Tomorrow

What would you do if tomorrow was your last, would you weep for the future or appreciate your past? Could you live in the present, as fleeting as it may be, what exactly would you want your loved ones to see? Some will find peace while others go home and pack, but there is nothing you can take, not even the clothes on your back. What if you could change this life that you live, would you still want to take or maybe go back and give? Our time here is precious but it will certainly end in death, you better make some decisions before that last breath. Should we focus on what or how we will leave, is there life after death, what exactly do you believe? Is your neighbor more important than the house that you’ve bought, have you asked those hard questions, now give that some thought? Will you decide to just settle or fight and keep trying? Maybe it’s time to start living or you will be busy dying.

you addressed some difficult questions. Our society places so much importance on having success, at least a house and car, etc. I probably worry more than I should about my security. This is a great thought provoking piece of poetry!

As the year ends and a new year has just begun, you have hurled some thoughts to ponder. Life is so fleeting. So live life and do everything possible as if it is our last day on earth. Happy New year to you poet friend.

A thought provoking verse Mark, sometimes we need to step back and think what's really important in our lives. For me family comes first every time. We only get one chance at life so we need to live it and give it our best shot. Happy New year to you. Tom

Terrific points you've made, Sheriff. Tomorrow is never promised to us for the chance to make amends.
