If You Were To Die Today

The world would go on. The chaos would continue. The confusion would remain. Wars would still be fought. Soldiers would continue to die. The world would go on. Babies would be born. People would continue to die. Hunger would still plague many. Selfishness would still hinder millions. The world would go on. Traffic would remain hectic. Accidents would continue to happen. Gunshots would still be heard. Children would continue to be hurt. The world would go on. Flowers would continue to blossom. Seasons would continue to change. Leaves would still change colors. Springtime would still bring smiles. The world would go on. Children would continue to learn. New love would continue to flourish. Kindness would still be prevalent. Humanity would still be plentiful. The world would go on. But there would be something missing. There would be something different. Your death would leave an empty cavern. Your family would mourn. Your friends would grieve. Your absence would be noticed. You would be missed. But the world would still go on.
