When such tragic events occur such as the recent terroristic attack with such an incredible and unexpected loss of life, we are reminded to be thankful for every minute we have and for the blessings that have been bestowed on us.

Tomorrow
by Michael Mack
Tomorrow smile at someone
That you've never seen before.
Take time to think of others that
You feel compassion for.

Tomorrow tell somebody
How they brighten up your day.
Let random acts of kindness
Put your feelings on display.

Tomorrow hug your children
Somewhat tighter than before.
Be sure to think of all the things
You can be thankful for.

Pat your dog a little longer.
Hug and kiss your husband/wife.
Thank your God for granting you
Another day of life.

    This is a wonderful poem. I went on the internet to look for a poem ( for an assignment for school) and up came this poem. As soon as I read it, it made me think of all the things I take for granted. Such as my siblings, parents and even teachers. Thanks

    Your poem was simple but VERY sweet and expressive. After the occurences of Sept. 11, I will take the GOOD advice you wrote in your poem. Excellent job! Keep writing! :-)

    This poem is really sweet and heart warming. I think this poem explains how we should'nt take love, friends, people, life it self for granted, because life is to short, and sometimes it gets cut shorter.
