Tomorrow Just May Be Too Late Poem by Leonard Rebello

Tomorrow Just May Be Too Late

Rating: 5.0


How many lives did you touch today?
As you went about your mundane busy way
did you touch family foe or friend?
Or was there a delicate relationship to mend?
Did you smile at the befuddled stranger on the street?
Or tip the waiter where you eat?
Did you touch your co-traveler’s heart today?
Please tell me, you paused to pray?
Did you help someone, or meet a pressing need?
Did you pick someone from their bad deeds?
Was there a child whose tear you wiped?
Or you just strolled away with a spring in your stride?
Was there someone hungry, you helped to feed?
Did you speak an encouraging word?
When people poured their hearts out, did they feel you heard?
Did you remember the driver on the bus
is just another one of us?
Family and strangers are all the same
each one of us, each has a name.
Tell me, did you share God's abundant love?
Or take the time to look at the blue sky above?
Did you lift someone to God's throne?
Did you move a lil bit out of your comfort zone?
Today may be the only touch you had
Was it for the good or bad?
Reach out to others while you can today
this golden rule, please obey.
For tomorrow just may be too late
to touch others, or change their fate
so as you go on your busy way
see how many lives you can touch
And then count the blessings that come your way
