With all the sadness in the world
The uncertainty, pain and sorrow
How this day ended
Could make a difference, for tomorrow

Awake, at morning sun
The day is like a brand new empty slate
But, do we carry upon us
Yesterday's, heavy weight

Some have not a choice in this
What happened yesterday, no one could avoid
And, before they knew it
Life before them, destroyed

Do we worry, not of tragedy
Because of where we're at
The unforeseen can be upon us
In an instant, just like that

Perhaps not in such a massive way
At this moment in your life, all could be right
But, then there's a knock at your door
Or a phone call, in the middle of the night

Would we live today a little different
If, at the beginning, we knew the end
Would we be kinder, wiser, more giving
Or is there a relationship, we need to mend

As I see, planes fly into buildings
Earthquakes, tidal waves, floods, wars
Yes, more and more earthly distress
Time spent at the computer
Has been less

Less, because ......
Will my family be here tomorrow
Will my friends be ....
And the last question, I ask
What about me?

I find myself calling my parents everyday
And even though I've always hugged my kids before
All of a sudden .....
They have been getting a lot more

No, I'm not living my life in gloom
Not at all
It's just a reality check .....
Everything can be going along fine
Then, all of a sudden, your whole life can fall

So, I ask again ....
This day ....
How would we spend
If we knew, at the beginning
How it would end
