If

If we knew the day our life would end Would we take the choice of knowing when Our eyes would see the last sunrise That bathes in light, a breathless sky Of colors never seen before Or rays that never felt so warm Upon a face that's well aware Of how many gifts we're given here Like winds that whistles lullabies While swaying trees and rustled leaves Dance to nature's symphony That plays for all we leave behind The gentle notes of precious time That passes by us day and night A wonder sometimes out of sight Believing there's another day Then knowing if we rest our eyes What time is left we dreamt away If we knew the day our life would end Would we take the choice of knowing when Old friends would touch for one last time With thoughts of laughter, one more cry With souls who made us dare to dream Whose words have brought an inner peace Do we burden them with what we know Do we share with them a last goodbye A lesson learned of precious time Though borrowed, it is ours alone To use it wisely before it's gone If we knew the day our life would end Would we take the choice of knowing when For some that day, is when life begins Kevin D.
