Death

Where will you go and what will they say

When you take your last breathe, on your last day.

Who will send flowers, and who will cry?

Will many not care? Will only some ask why?

Will the treasures you stored up, be left here, on earth?

And was your time spent with others, heavenly birthed?

What was most important? Your status, your prize?

Was the time that you spent foolish, or wise?

Some never comprehend that the impressions they leave,

Have the power to bring life, or to simply deceive.

But what are they thinking? Now that your dead, do you care?

Do you look back on your life and simply say, “Life, it’s not fair”?

Cause now is your chance, don’t miss it again.

You’ve been given life, be careful, let me explain.

Life is a gift, don’t ever forget.

Don’t stop living early, or you’re sure to regret

So remember today, you aren’t promised tomorrow

Or even the next day, or the day after to follow.

So live in every moment, take in every breath

Because there is nothing to fear, no, not even death.

When we were walking around the cemetery I found several little children’s tombstone. This was a sobering feeling and made me realize that we are not promised another day. Each day is a gift, so why do we take each day for granted so often? Cemetery’s, they are so dark, yet they are full of people whom once were filled with so much life. This is proof that life can be taken from us so quickly, in just a blink of an eye.

So today, what am I doing to live life to the fullest? Am I living in every moment, or am I simply trying to get through the day and make it to the weekend. The fact of the matter is, I may not make it to the weekend, so what am I going to do today, to live with energizing life?

EACH DAY IS A GIFT…UNTIE THE RIBBON.
