'if Today Was My Last Day'
If today was my last day,
I would tell my friends, family and
even my foes
how much they have influenced my life;
if today was my last day,
I would embrace the weather
whether it is winter or summer;
if today was my last day,
I would offer apologies to
those I have offended
and to those I have hurt;
if today was my last day,
I would ensure that the people
left behind know that I love them
and that the life I lived was a blissful one;
if today was my last day,
I would thank the Lord for giving me
the time on earth and be wishful that I have
accomplished all that He has set out for me from birth;
if today was my last day,
I would want it to be a day
of no regrets,
a day where there is more laughter than tears
if today I took my last breath
I would want it to be a day,
where I smelled the flowers,
where I glance at Table Mountain for the last time
and whisper Lord, I was truly blessed…
