HOW MANY TOMORROWS?

How many tomorrows will there be
to share your love and destiny?
Time marches on and takes it's toll
on the aging body, mind and soul.

How many dreams are left to share
with the someone for whom you care?
Tomorrow is not guaranteed for sure,
although the dreams hold much allure.

We cannot say that we have more time,
that tomorrow will come and be fine;
Better to do what we can this day
and share our hopes and love, I say.

How many tomorrows will there be
to tell you how much you mean to me?
Left unsaid, it will too soon become
just a memory, when today is done.
