Life my end tomorrow
but you don't know ahead of time.
Taking everything for granted
thinking everything will be fine.
You have all the time in the world
it's never gonna be you.
The one in the obituaries
the person who's life is through.
There's always tomorrow
to say " I love you."
Now you're in the grave
wishing he only knew.
How much you loved him
that he was your fate.
Wishing you could hold him once more
but now it's too late.

This is a really rad and touching poem. It touches base with the truth that we overlook the value of life until it's gone. Too often we procrastinate through life, ignorant to the fact that tommorow could be the last day we get to see our loved ones... the last day we get to hug our best friend... the last day we get to brighten someones day, and let them know someone cares. Great work!

Very nicely done Tia ... I enjoyed your thoughts in this piece. It's so true that we need to live each day to the fullest, and let those we care about know this, each and every day. Nicely penned!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

I found this to be quite sad. We all have to live for each day while looking onto the future. Although we obviously can't be happy every moment of every day.....we should cherish every moment to the fullest.....who knows.......could be our last.

I think the others said it perfectly, so I'll just add that I think you did great job on this!

This is a VERY powerful poem and if you are writing this because of a personal expirence, I am sorry that you had to go through that. I just lost a friend of mine and I never told her how much I cared and knowing that there is someone else that might be feeling the same thing out there...makes it easier to bear. Your a great writer. Hang in there

That's so sad! i think that one of everyone's fears is someone dying and not being able to tell them things that you figured they already knew. this was an awesome poem, makes you think

I agree w/ what every one is saying.  This is a great poem ... at the same time pretty sad.  I love the way you wrote it sarcasticly.
