Tomorrow
Tomorrow I will visit Grandma,
She spends too much time alone.
The toddler has the flu,
the baby's cutting teeth,
the teenager did not come home...
Tomorrow I will take Grandma
some cookies or fresh bread,
She hardly cooks anymore.
I had to work overtime,
the husband got laid off,
I really should get to the store...
Tomorrow is so easily said,
but life gets in the way,
people you meant to appreciate,
important things you meant to do,
I will make all the arrangements,
I will invite her last few friends,
and the family she barely knew,
Tomorrow I will mourn her,
and regret all the tomorrows gone.
