Through The Eyes of Death

Nothing will ever look the same

When you're told you're going to die

The things you took for granted

Will no longer pass you by

The flowers become more beautiful

'Cause you take the time to smell

And the things that went unnoticed

Now live to say farewell

The things you touch seem different

While marveling at the feel

You wonder why you have to die

To make things seem so real

The gentle winds that kiss your face

Now bring you to your knees

You never notice until it's too late

The joy that's in the breeze

The past becomes your future

Remembering your mistakes

You live each day to right the wrong

No matter what it takes

The hardest part is saying goodbye

To all the people you love

One more day is all you want

It's all you're thinking of

You're amazed by God's creation

While counting every breath

The world will never look the same

As you look through the eyes of deat

Always take time to stop and smell the flowers, crack a smile when you hear childrens laughter, stand in a thunderstorm and let the rain drench you to the core. In the blink of an eye, it can all be taken away so cruelly and so quickly.
My mother-in law is battling pancreatic cancer. She spoke those very words I've written here to me just a few days ago. I believe I shall take her advice to heart...
Wonderful and touching write...

I like this a lot! It has good flow and emotions. Oh, and at the end, I like how you left the h off of death. I'm not sure if it was on purpose, but I think it's cool because it's like the person died and it shows the suddeness of death. But then again, it maybe takes away some of the seriousness of the poem. I don't know, but either way, great job!

Yes this is true, I can feel this write.
Very nicely written and expressed.

This is a scenario I have thought of many times in my life. What would I do if I knew I was going to die? I have also wondered if I would even want to know....excellent piece.

i really love this. Simple yet full or so many revelations.
