My Last

If I knew that the sunrise Would soon be my last Would the warmth on my face Feel like never before Does a light shine more brightly When the journey has passed A question unanswered As my eyes close forever Still wanting for more If I stood in the rain With my face to the sky Could I feel every raindrop While closing my eyes Would the rain cool my face Like never before As my last summer rain Leaves me wanting for more If I listen more closely There's music to be heard The sound of the wind The song of a bird The water that flows over rocks in a creek The swaying of trees The rustle of leaves Are gifts that remind me With time to look back I realize that moment Could be my last Kevin D.
