Thoughts Before Dying

Thoughts Before Dying ( Originally Untitled )

If today was your last day,

I ask you,

“What would you say”

Would you hug

Your dearest relative

Would you cry and complain

Would you believe

In the afterlife

Would you wonder

Where you’d go

Would you find that special someone

And made sure that they know

The feelings

You held so deep

What you were afraid to say

Would you spend the day walking

Because you’ve always felt

Constrained in your car

Maybe play ball with your kids

Call work

Take the day off

Ask your wife

To marry you

She’d laugh at the humor

Would you count

All the fluffy clouds

And wonder

“Where have you been”

Stand before

The crashing waves

And ponder

“Has it really been…”

Years since

I’ve done this

I must have

Just turned thirteen

When life was

Still fresh and new

“Was it a dream…”

Was life really

As good as I think

Did I stress

When I was thirteen

Did I imagine life

As I do now

Now that it seems

To be over

Then did I ever

Stop and ask “How?”

And “Why” and

All those other questions

Did I take the time

To love my life

Not focus on reaching

A destination

That seems to have

Lead me nowhere

Where has it all gone

And where was I

When it happened…
