Do you know, Tom, that is scaringly true. You leave home in the morning and you have no idea if you will be going back again. What is wrong with the world today. I don't want to go abroad on holiday 1anymore, I am going to stay in the UK and enjoy what is on offer here. This is very thought provoking, Tom. xsx Sandra

Thank you Sandra. It is scary. I don't blame you.
Comment from Pantygynt
This really makes you think of all the awful outcomes that are not just possible but are actually happening on a daily basis. We are all potentially here one minute and gone the next.
When I started to read this my first thoughts were that it was vin the worst possible taste until i realised how accurately it it reflected the hardest of hard knocks in life. Sometimes I am amazed that any of us manage to survive.

Thank you Pantygynt. It is often to wonder.
Comment from IndianaIrish
A moving and powerful poem, Treischel. You poignantly describe how circumstances we have no control over will change absolutely everything. I very much like your message...kiss your loved ones and don't let a day go by without professing your love.
Smiles,
Karyn :-)

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
It is quite true we never know, if we will return. Never go sleep angry either. You may not wake up tomorrow. In short leave good memories where ever you are or go.

Thank you Cat. More like "All our yesterdays have lighted fools their way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!" Indeed, it does get you thinking.
Comment from flylikeaneagle
Treischel: great remembrance of the famous deaths in the news. All painful and people grieving the loss. I remember the faces of the Sandy kids and the stories of Columbine. Some times our hands just dance the poem into words. Great layout, color and thoughts.
Note in the news about North East Mpls - people are freezing their clothes, jeans and swim suits and having these outside to show off. Maybe, its in the news up there, too. flylikeaneagle

Comment from NicciFaye
Dang it Treischel...I just gave my last six away. Worthy though, I wish I had another. Now I understand the "unless"....sad, but true. We should NEVER take our love one's for granted because we never know when it will be the last time God grants us that time with them. I really wish I had a six. Powerful and moving..

Comment from Selina Stambi
I'm enjoying this new phase of introspection from your pen, Tom.
Yes, I've often wondered about those morning goodbyes on 9/11. And what about those who never got to say sorry/Forgive me/ I love you ...
Sobering. Very.
How is Karen doing?

Thank you Sonali. Yes, indeed it is good for thought. Karen is doing very well. Her knee is doing wonderfully, and is without pain. Her back is improving too.
-
I'm delighted to hear about Karen, Tom. She's had a long road to travel. I bet you're relieved. Hurrah! :)
-
It not perfect yet, but it seems like our prayers are finally being answered.
-
So good to know. I'll keep praying, Tom. :)

Thank you again for the reminder to value love and "take nothing for granted". Your litany of tragic events made your point well. Don't forget flowers or a photographic version on Valentine's Day either! -Joan

Comment from patcelaw
Treischel this is a profound writing. and I say amen. We should never take our loved one coming home at the end of the day as they leave in the morning. When my husband kissed me goodbye that day in March of 1988, he did not expect to see me next in an auto accident in which I could well have been killed.
The first lines are hard to read and the last few as well thee contrast is not very good for easy reading.

Thank you Patricia. I was worried about that. Will take another look at it.
