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

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
