If Tomorrow Never Comes Poem by Isatou Juwara
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!

Earnest and endearing. The deep prism of this uncertain life glimpsed through the eyes of a young poet, sharing with us what she sees from where she stands. Well done, poignantly and beautifully written. Congratulations.
A touching write indeed. There is sadness in the lines as you are afraid of losing your dear ones. Emotion is running thick in the poem. Nice. Congrats.

Though life may be short live it! Live it now! The present is here and it we see, but the future is unknown!
