If I Were To Die Today

If I were to die today I know they’ll be sadness and tears But, I'm the reason you were born So be thankful for all my years If I were to die today Please smile, and celebrate my life For the greatest gift I was given Was being a mother, a nan and a wife If I were to die today Life will go on, we all know So don’t be afraid to laugh and smile Don’t be afraid to let go The purpose for my time on earth To me, has always been clear For Bree, Paulie, Brooke, George & Sydnie Is the sole reason why I was here If I were to die today Please don’t cry and be sad Remember the love, kisses and hugs And treasure the fun we all had To smile doesn’t mean you’ve forgotten To laugh doesn’t mean you don’t care It means you remember the happiness And the love that forever we’ll share So if I were to die today I know you will all feel me near I never left you completely Remember...for you, I will always be here..

A poignant and sobering piece Raina, but very well penned with nice rhyme and flow too. I see you've been off PS for a while, good to meet a fellow Brit as I'm north of the border. Take care and keep safe, Gordon

Hi Gordon, thank you so much for your lovely comment, it means a lot :). I haven't written for a while, but I hope to get back into it now. And yes, always good to meet a fellow Brit - I'm from south of the border :). Be safe and thanks again, Raina x
