We know not what tomorrow will bring
or even if it will come around
No, we know not what tomorrow will bring
or if hard luck will be found

We know not if the sun will shine
and bring happiness to our heart
Or if the storms of life will come
and cause deep sadness to start

We know not if tomorrow comes
if in this life we make a new mistake
Or if we'll make it through the day
when if the sun shall break

We know not if when we lay down to sleep
if the next breath we will take
Or when our loved ones go out the door
if we'll hear again the footsteps they make

We know not if the last word we say
to loved ones will be the last
So let us say kind words and I love you's
so we won't regret what came to pass

Then if our loved ones we do not see
or ever hear their sweet words sing
Let us make the most of each moment we have
for we know not what tomorrow will bring

KoKo,
Yes, I believe we should let
people know how much we care
while we have a chance.
Thank you for your sweet reply.
I appreciate it...

This is so true, Elthel. We never know what tomorrow will bring. This is a wonderful poem.

(smiles) Oh Ethel, this is gorgeous, sweet friend, yes, we must love like there is no tomorrow with every cell in our bodies, as they say, "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we'll die". (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Ethel,
there is a very beautiful saying that you have paraphrased very well here. The saying is "I know not what the future holds but I am unafraid, for I know who holds the future." Thank you for the reminder.
