In my journal, I pasted a poem entitled Tomorrow Never Comes. The poem is very interesting since it was written by a young husband during the time he was mending over the death of his wife in an airplane crash. The poem was shared to me by a friend then.
Part of the poem reads:
"If I knew this would be the last time I WOULD hear your voice in prayer;
I would record every gesture, every look, every smile, every words you utter.
If you are waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
Because if tomorrow never comes, you certainly will regret for the rest of your life,
not having spent some extra time for a smile, a conversation, a hug, a kiss.
Because you were too busy to give that person what ended up being their last wish."
To live each day of your life, there is a need to be fair and diligent. Many people are guilty of this scenario, including me, of course. I used to take for granted the things that my loved ones deserve. Family members and friends, I think, just stay there for me, not knowing that they learned to forget me already. It is unfair for the people we love if we allow them to be taken for granted.
I remember those victims of earthquakes, typhoons, and tidal waves who died without being able to say a few words to their loved ones. That is why, it is necessary to express gratitude, love, respect, and forgiveness anytime available in order to avoid late offering to loved ones or that something that ended up being their last wish. So, live each day of your life and avoid procrastination. As we all know, we have no control on the time of death. For each one, you might die anytime. Death is not part of our freedom to choose. It is something that will knock into our doors unexpectedly. By doing the right thing for our loved ones, and loving them wholeheartedly, we cannot totally fear death.
