My Dear, I Almost Lost You Yesterday Poem by Royston Allen

My dear, I almost lost you yesterday
my life all shattered and in disarray.
God could have chosen us by death to part
and brought so much sadness to my heart.

I'd taken for granted the love we share
but yesterday had made me so aware
of the frailty of this earthly life
because I could have been without my wife!

My love, you're so very precious to me
without you I don't know where I would be.
I know that death will separate us one day
but I'm thankful it was not yesterday.

I praise God for His daily protection
and for His great care and His direction.
He was watching over you yesterday
and gave us another precious day.
