What would I do?

I wish I could say

that if I died tomorrow

I would be happy

happy to go up to the heavens

and praise my God forever

I can admitt though

that I would be only partly lying if I said that

I know tears would fill my eyes

and worries would fill my heart

all the dreams of my future

would be pointless

I would never get to be

what I wanted to be or

even experience  college

I'd miss my best friend's wedding

and I would never meet the love of their life

and my brother and sister

I would never get to see the faces

of my nieces and nephews

or guide them through their hardest times in life

nor would I get to celebrate in all the accomplishments

made by the ones I love

I'd never get that first kiss

or meert my soul mate

I'd die a lone in that sense

That is why my heart would not

be at peace if I died

My mind would not be at rest

but my faith in God would see me through

and through all those tears

deep down I would know

that death would only be the

new beginning to my life

I like it...it makes you think of all the things you would miss if you died today. It also makes that saying "Live like you are dying" come to life...hahaha thats a paradox...but the point is that this is very good lol and i like it very much

A very good poem. Life is very important. The simple things we do become important when death is close. I like the detail and each line added to a powerful ending. A new beginning. A excellent poem.
