If Tomorrow Never Comes

Dear mother,
just now I realized
that man's stay on earth
is but limited
and that our days
are but numbered
and being mortal i know not
what lies ahead tomorrow.

But if tomorrow never comes
just you remember
that you had a daughter
who despite her teenage rebellions
adores you.

Please mother,
do tell my father
and my brother
that inspite of our differences
they were dear to my heart.

But to you my love
if tomorrow never comes
do remember those beautiful eyes of mine
that once mirrored the flame of love
that burneth within my heart.

And do remember
that though life be short
and unpredictable
its still a beautiful life, live it
I did!

    At last a poem to relish and appreciate, great flow and such wonderful touching lines....it is so exceptional to me as a mother as sometimes as we get older we become a bit lost and for the child she brought into the world to turn around and consider her in such an unselfish compassionate way, to almost take her hand and say (live it like I did!) gorgeous touching write and congratulations on poem of the day... i can totally see why this was chosen...tyvm karen
