If You Knew

If you knew you only had 48 hours,
To live, What would you do?
You can't cheat death the grim,
Reaper is around the corner.
He is a kind and gentle soul,
Just waiting to help you on your journey.
Yes, he is an angel guided by God,
To be the traveler as your companion,
On this journey your going to take.
As I think about it I would like to visit,
The places I've always wanted to visit.
Definitely a lobster dinner with,
Dom perignon with the love of my life.
After dinner I would rent a,
Ferrari convertible drive the PCH,
Spend the night on the beach with my love.
Watching the sunset and looking at,
The stars telling all my secrets and,
The things I never did get accomplished.
But I had the time of my life and as,
The sun comes up - I'm ready and,
Waiting for my companion as I turn,
Kiss the one person that made,
My life complete telling them don't cry.
Placing a hand on their heart and tell,
Them I'll always be here,
I'll always be with you.
I say Goodbye, turn around walk away,
Hand in hand with my companion,
Into the light as I begin another,
Chapter in my life.
