Dear mother, <br />just now I realized <br />that man's stay on earth <br />is but limited <br />and that our days <br />are but numbered <br />and being mortal i know not <br />what lies ahead tomorrow. <br /> <br />But if tomorrow never comes <br />just you remember <br />that you had a daughter <br />who despite her teenage rebellions <br />adores you. <br /> <br />Please mother, <br />do tell my father <br />and my brother <br />that inspite of our differences <br />they were dear to my heart. <br /> <br />But to you my love <br />if tomorrow never comes <br />do remember those beautiful eyes of mine <br />that once mirrored the flame of love <br />that burneth within my heart. <br /> <br />And do remember <br />that though life be short <br />and unpredictable <br />its still a beautiful life, live it <br />I did!<br /><br />isatou juwara<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-tomorrow-never-comes-12/
