Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

If We Knew Our End Dates

If we knew our loved one’s end date
would we be nicer?

Spend more time listening?
Give hugs more often?

Fix them their favorite foods each day?

What if we knew our own end date?

What would we do differently?

Do these things.

M. L. Kiser December 12, 2018 at 5:49 AM If I knew mine, every day would be fun...fun...fun...fun! Great idea! Caren Krutsinger December 12, 2018 at 6:36 AM I plan to FORCE myself to have fun today. I have already talked myself into it, believe it or not.

Rhona Mcferran December 11, 2018 at 12:23 PM I need this reminder, too. I'm not even going to talk about "morning me"... Rhona Mcferran December 12, 2018 at 4:24 AM I still refuse to accept that that creature is "me"... it is Morning's fault. Mornings are evil! Caren Krutsinger December 11, 2018 at 7:50 PM hahahahahahahahahaha I recognize myself, and still have a daily snarl that comes out of the bowels of hell.

Line Gauthier December 11, 2018 at 9:06 AM Food for thought. Good one, Caren. Caren Krutsinger December 11, 2018 at 11:49 AM I wrote this after shrieking in a mean way at my husband who is afraid of morning me.
