Tomorrow Never Comes

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly, and pray the Lord your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss, and call you back for just one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would tape each word and action, and play them back throughout my days
If I knew it would be the last time, I would spare an extra minute or two,
To stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you know I do.

So, just in case tomorrow never comes, and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you, and I hope we never will forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So, if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss,
And you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear,
That you love them very much, and you'll always hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank you" or "It's okay".
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

-Norma Cornett Marek 1989

Be sure to tell anyone you consider a friend or a loved one how you feel today. Those you've known for a long time, or maybe haven't talked to in a while, as well as those you may have just met. Let them know how much you care about them. But don\t delay. You never know... you may not see them tomorrow. So, let them know how much they mean to you today.

Nafrat kyun hain?

Ishwar allah tere jahan mein nafrat kyon hai jung hai kyon
Tera dil to itna bada hai insaan ka dil tang hai kyon

Kadam kadam par sarhad kyon hai saari zameen jo teri hai
Sooraj ke pehre dharti hai phir kyon itni andheri hai
Is duniya ke daaman par insaan ke lahoo ka rang hai kyon

Goonj rahi kitni cheekhein pyaar ki baatein hum sunein
Toot rahe hain kitne sapne inke tukde koi chune
Dil ke darwaazon par taaley taalon par zank hai kyon
Ishwar allah tere jahan mein nafrat kyon hai jung hai kyon
Tera dil to itna bada hai insaan ka dil tang hai kyon.

Yeh lamha, filhaal jee lene de

Pehle se likha, kuch bhi nahin
Roz naya kuch, likti hain tu
Jho bhi likha hain, dil se jiya hain
Yeh lamha, filhaal jee lene de
Masoom si hasi, bewaja hi sahi, honton pe khil jaathi hain
Anjaan si kushi, behthi hui kabhi, saahil pe mil jaathi hain
Yeh sukun hain tho hain, yeh junoon hain tho hain, khoobsurat hain jee lene de
Yeh lamha, filhaal jee lene de
Yun hi mein rehta hain, aankhon mein behta hain, kacha sa ek khwab hain
Lagta sawaal hain, shaayad jawab hain, dil phir bhi betaab hain
Yeh anjaan sa dar, ajnabee hain magar,
khoobsurat hain jee lene de
Yeh lamha, filhaal jee lene de



Questions, unanswered......

Why is there misery in the world- hunger, poverty, sorrow, tears, pain, separation, broken hearts?
Why is there discrimination- rich, poor; fat, thin; caste, color?
If we have to die one day, why are we born? Why do fight for money, power, and so many other materialistic things, when we know that we have to give up all this when we die, nothing goes along with death....
Why do some die young, and some die old?
Is there really something called "karma"?
Who created us? We believe in God, has anyone seen God?
When we die, is it just that our heart stops beating, or something more than that- does the soul really drop the body? Does the "spirit" really exist?
