If Tomorrow Never Comes Poem by D Loveday Morris

Why do tears rain like streams of pain?
Why do you lose the ones you love, who stand to gain?
I took for granted that we would always be.
I took for granted your face I would always see.

Now here I am, standing alone;
If I only knew one day you would be gone.
Lost times… those times I said I would and didn't;
Lost times… those times I took for granted… I shouldn't.

Why can't today's sorrow go away until tomorrow?
Can I get those lost times to borrow?
Please tell me, why did you have to be gone forever?
Please let tomorrow never come, and you never leave me ever.

Yet time waits on no one,
When that time comes you too will be gone
So I cherish today for what it is
I cherish today; today I live
