If tomorrow never comes….lessons from mourning
We understand how it feels to not get the chance to say what we really feel. I came across this poem by Stephanie Ineson that brought this home, and show how important it is not to have any regrets. Hope you like it.
Tomorrow - I’ll tell him just what he means, That living and loving with him is in my dreams Tomorrow - I’ll give a big hug to mum, Say a quick thank you for all that she’s done. Tomorrow- I’ll call or even drop by, I’ll say “I love you” state all the reasons why.
Tomorrow-I’ll go about getting in touch With forgotton friends I miss so much. Tomorrow-I’ll take the first step to my goal, That I’ve always thought would make my life whole. Tomorrow-I’ll count all my blessings in life, Consider it privilege to be a midwife….
But what should I do if that day never comes, And all good intentions come undone. If life should spin a crazy dance, All these things and you never got the chance. If you woke up tomorrow to find that they’d gone, Looked at your list, realized you’d done none.
All the things you were going to do today, A million things you never got to say. Would you be confident that you’d given your all, Or guilty that you didn’t make that call? Could you be at peace, content that they knew, Just how much they all meant to you?
So, to avoid that nightmare never becoming real, Love life, love others and show how you feel.
It hit home to me, and I need to be more open to my friends and family that are still very much here.

Thank you for featuring my poem if tomorrow never comes on this site.If you liked this you will find motivating moments a very positive site with their section devoted to helping through the grief
It means a lot to be able to share thoughts with others at times when this is needed. After personally benefiting from reading thoughts and poems of others in my own times of grief it means a lot to know that i can do the same.
Thank you once again
Much Love Steph x
