Line Gauthier Poet Lyric

What if Tomorrow Never Comes

It’s in my words and in my every deed
The tinge of love and compassion
Attentive to his every need
And cautious with his every move
He’s not the man he used to be
Half as strong twice as lovable
In my heart I live with fear
What if tomorrow never comes

Each moment treasured
Each confession savored
A tenderness that can’t be duplicated
An intimacy that can’t be bought
Precious moments together cherished
Making the most of time we’re granted
What if tomorrow never comes

John Watt January 11, 2020 at 5:33 PM So relatable, Line. I had these very thoughts so poetically expressed by you as my mother was in her 90's. "Precious moments together cherished / Making the most of time we’re granted" - indeed. This brings a tear, my friend. A fav. Hugs ~ John Line Gauthier January 11, 2020 at 8:58 PM Thanks for your most appreciated visit and compliment, John.

Connie Marcum Wong January 10, 2020 at 11:37 PM I can truly relate to this poignant poem Line. I try not to worry about losing my husband, but we just don't know how much time we have on earth and we need to cherish that time. Beautiful! xxoo Line Gauthier January 10, 2020 at 11:50 PM Thanks for your lovely visit and comment, Connie. Most appreciated.
