No Regrets

Inspired by a song, it was not long for me to write these words. Maybe sad, maybe long but I write them for me to be strong.

I wondered who may care to sing for me?

I wondered if I will leave a legacy?

Could it be my daughter or my son?

Or will I die and be the lonely one?

 

Will I live to be one hundred and three?

Outlive my friends and my family?

I often fear to think about my future fate.

Who really knows, time does not wait.

 

If death should come to me this day,

will you miss and remember me this way?

Or, do I return to Earth and It's dust.

Burry all that I am in Her great crust.

 

It is my greatest and long felt fear

to accomplish nothing while I am here.

To lose a day of precious time.

Oh, what a loss, oh what a crime.

 

Dad, I miss you, I miss you so bad.

No chance to hug you, has left me so sad.

Because of you, I think these thoughts

of the haves and the have nots.

 

Who will think of me when my eyes are closed?

Who, I wonder who, doesn't matter I suppose.

If you love me, then kiss me everyday!

Show your love in every gentle way.

 

If you see tears when I look at you,

it's because you fill me like you always do.

So on the day one of us must slip away,

no regrets, for  we loved one another everyday.

You capture well the search for meaning and the fear of unlived life. Just being is very difficult because we are so aware of our mortality.

Well done.
