Tomorrow Never Comes
Norma Cornett Marek


If I knew this would be the last time,
I would watch you sleep,
I would hug you tighter.
I would plead with the Lord to protect you.
If I knew this would be the last time
I saw you walk out the door,
I would hug and kiss you and call you back to hug
and kiss you one more time.

If I knew this would be the last time I would hear
your voice in prayer, I would record every
gesture, every look, every smile,every one of your words.
So that I could listen to it later, day after day.

If I knew this would be the last time, I would spend an extra minute or two to tell you,
“I LOVE YOU”, instead of assuming you already knew it.

If I knew this would be our last time, our last moment,
I would be by your side, spending the day with
you instead of thinkng,
“Well I’m sure other oppurtunities will come, so I
can let this day go by.”

Of course there will be a day to revise things, and we
would have a second chance to do things right.

Oh, of course there will be another day for us to say, “I LOVE YOU.”
And certainly there will be another chance
to tell each other,
“Can I help with anything?”

But in my case, there isn’t one!
I don’t have you here with me and today is the last day
we have.

Therefore, I would like to say how much
I LOVE YOU.
And I hope you never forget it.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old.
Today might be our last chance to hold tight to the
hand of the one you love
and show all you feel.

If you are waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
Because if tomorrow never comes, you certainly will regret for the rest of your life.
Not having spent some extra time
for a smile, a conversation, a hug, a kiss.
Because you were too busy to give that person
what ended up being their last wish.

Then hug tight today the one you love.
your friends, your family, and whisper
in their ears how much you love them and want them
close to you.

Use your time to say,
“I’m sorry”
“Please, forgive me”
“Thank you”
or even,
“That was nothing”
“It’s alright”

Because if tomorrow never comes,
you will not have to regret today.
The past doesn’t come back, and the future
might not come”
