No-One's Promised Tomorrow

Poem by Me

By Pegie SchwickPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

No-Ones Promised Tomorrow

Never hesitate to say I love you

And don’t forget to call

Time has its way

Of coming for us all

Once by your side

To wipe every tear

Held you in our arms

Chased away each fear

Making us so proud

Watching you grow

Into amazing young adults

With babes of your own

Tempered your gentle wings

So you could learn to fly

Fulfilling your dreams

We stand with such pride

Now comes the time

When things start to change

We grow older and weary

Each and everyday

Please don’t take for granted

The love we hold inside

We just long to see your faces

To hear you’re doing fine

People come and go

Life’s constant change

You remain in our souls

For that will never fade

But If you choose to wait

Well, we’ll all be ok

Yet you may never

Get another chance

Before we’re called away. Xoxo
