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 Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~CAN'T IMAGINE~ 2020 Submitted on January 27, 2020 for contest STRAND CHOICE 8 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - Honorable Mention Originally posted on January 10, 2020

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

I sometimes hope that tomorrow never comes "Making the most of time we’re granted" - is the most important thing we can do!

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
