Friday, Saturday, and Sunday went by in a blur seems like all I do is blink my eyes and half my life has past away. I try to savor the moments and enjoy as much as possible because I know it will be gone before I know it. As much as I try not to have regrets because nothing can be changed in my life and it’s a wasted emotion a few regrets still remain concerning my Son.

I find myself humming that song “If Tomorrow Never Comes” and the poem below which I think was “Tomorrow Never Comes” written by Norma Cornett Marek in 1989 which has been claimed by many under different names, but I received the poem many years ago and I will contribute it to Norma who I believe passed away in 2004.

Tomorrow Never Comes

If I knew it was our last time I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly, and pray the Lord your soul to keep.

If I knew it was our last time I’d see you out the door, We’d hug and kiss, and I’d call you back for more.

If I knew it was our last time, I’d hear your voice in praise, I’d record each action and each word,
to play them back day by day.

If I knew it was our last time, I’d spend a moment or two to stop and say “I Love You”, not assuming you know that I do.

If I knew it was our last time, I’d be there to share your day….. presuming I’d have many more,
so I let this one slip away.

For surely there’s tomorrow to make up for the oversight, we always get a second chance to make everything right.

There will always be another day to say our “I Love You’s”, and surely there’s another chance to say “What can I do?”

But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I’d like to say “I Love You ! “, and hope we don’t forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to young and old alike, today may be that last chance I can hold that loved one tight. If your waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes, you could regret the day, you didn’t take that extra time, for a smile, a hug, a kiss, and you were too busy to grant their one last wish.

So, hold your loved one close today and whisper in their ear, tell them how you love them that you’ll always hold them dear.

Take time to say “I’m sorry”, “forgive me”, “thank you”, “it’s OK”, and if tomorrow never comes
there’s no regret about today.
