If I Were To Die Today

If I were to die today would you celebrate or would your heartbreak and fall apart from all the pain, would it really be that hard for you to say goodbye as the honor guard extends his arms to hand my mom a flag would you comfort my mother or put your arms around my dad as three rifles volley following the harmony of Taps would you collapse or go running towards the back while grasping a photograph of the two of us in the past would you smile would you frown would you cry would you laugh has the life we've had been more good than bad would you be glad and just pretending to be sad or would you cry uncontrollaby while hoping I'd come back don't get too nervous from these questions that I ask they're only coming from a dream that I once had where I viewed my funeral from far off in a better place and I was wondering if you'd care either way

You ask all the right questions and inlist every reaction. And then It became a piece of work. I enjoyed it so much I'd better not copy it and get ideals for a piece of my own.

Thank you for reading, John. I think it's a question we all, at some point, think to ourselves. If it's inspiring in anyway, please do write about it. I would find it rewarding to read how you would articulate this same concept in your own words.
