In a thoughtful mood ... we only have today to live; the future is uncertain.
******
No Promise
Don't wait to love or to live.
None ever have time to spare.
There's no promise of a dawn.
At least, not where I'm from.
Love, live, each day as your last.
Surely that day is coming fast.
Yesterday has come and gone.
The way today is sighing ...
tomorrow may be dying.
Do the right thing while you can.
Things won't wait until later.
There's no promise of a dawn.
At least, not where I'm from.
Live each day. Life is a blast!
Happiness sails at full mast.
Yesterday has come and gone.
The way today is sighing ...
tomorrow may be dying.
Take time to hear the music.
Beter yet, make time to dance.
There's no promise of a dawn.
At least, not where I'm from.
It's fact--true love is precious.
Let none, nothing, diminish us.
Yesterday has come and gone.
The way today is sighing ...
tomorrow may be dying.
Tomorrow may be trying,
nobody is denying--
tomorrow ...
may be dying.

True words indeed. The two saddest words in the English language are "If only.." Nicely written and one to keep in mind.
You are so right, this is a wonderful life lesson poem, our lifes on earth are brief and can end as suddenly as a bolt of lighting so we best make the best of every minute.
I have written a chapter called I Am That, I Am in this inspirational compilation book by best-selling authors and wonderful people from all walks of life xox :-D (Its sister book is called Adventures In Manifesting - Success and Spirituality)
