Before We Die
Line of inquiry: have we repaid all debts of love we owe?
We go through life, and as we journey on,
can we recall the many souls that we
had met, and just as soon as that, were gone?
The school teachers, the friends we used to see,
our dear ones, kin, acquaintances and more . . .
kind strangers who by word or deed showed love.
Like plucking pebbles from a river shore
would be the task – recalling actions of
so many people! What we have to do
before we die, as humans in this life,
is kindness give to everybody who
we meet along our path. The world is rife
with so much woe. A debt of love we owe
to all we meet as down life’s path we go.
