Tomorrow
By Megan Hawkins
A mother once said "Tomorrow is another day
and we will spend time together then."
The child went to bed with a frown on his face
and tears in his eyes.
In the middle of the night an angel
came to the boy in a dream.
The angel whispered "tomorrow will never come for you.
For you have learned all you need to."
The boy grasped the hand of the angel with sorrow and mouthed
"will tomorrow be a day of sadness for my mother?"
The angel sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the little boy
and uttered "Tomorrow will be one of sadness and growth.
Sadness for the death of her eldest son and
growth for the knowledge that
today is the only thing you can count on."

I found this as I was cleaning the house. I was mad at Doran for never picking up after himself and that on my day off I had to do it all. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea. I love Doran so much but the mess is driving me nuts. I clean all the time but it never stays clean. I found this poem that my sister wrote when we were both in seminary. It made me realize that it doesn't matter what the house looks like as long as he knows I love him for who he is.
thanks for finding that pome it was good i think she wrote it at a time she needed me and i would always say tommarrow my tomarrows have gone with most of my children of spending time and doing things with them and teaching them. this truly sadens my heart. i love you danyel i want to thank you for all you do for me. love mom
