Can I Borrow A Tomorrow Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

EXCUSE ME MAM
I DON'T MEAN TO BEG
BUT CAN I BORROW
A TOMORROW
YOU SEE MY TIME IS LIMITED
TO WHAT I GOT LEFT TO LIVE
AND I'M WILLING TO TRADE
MY SORROW
IF YOU LET ME BORROW
BORROW A TOMORROW
BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL THINGS
I MEAN TO DO
BEFORE MY TIME IS UP
I STILL NEED TO
TELL MY BABY
I LOVE HER TO
AND TO MY MOTHER
SORRY I WAS SUCH A BOTHER
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER
SO MAM CAN I BORROW
BORROW A TOMORROW
AND I'LL TRADE YOU ONE
OF MY SORROW
BECAUSE THERE ARE
STILL THINGS I HAVE TO DO
LIKE SAYING I'M SORRY
FOR THE THINGS I DID
LIKE FEELINGS I HID
AND THE HEARTS I BROKE
WHERE I SHOULD HAVE CRY
INSTEAD OF TELLING A JOKE
THAN SAYING GOODBYE
SO MAM CAN I PLEASE BORROW
A TOMORROW
AND IN RETURN
I'LL GIVE YOU MY SORROW
SO PLEASE MAM
MY TIME IS RUINING OUT
THERE ONE MORE THING
I NEED TO DO
AND THAT'S TELL MY SON
THE THINGS HE BEEN ASKING ABOUT
WHICH IS YES
I ALWAYS
DID LOVE YOU
SORRY I NEVER TOLD YOU
AND I'M PROUD OF YOU TO
NOW I LAID MY SELF DOWN
TO REST IN PEACE
AND I THANK YOU MAM
FOR LETTING ME BORROW
ONE OF YOUR TOMORROW
