Life and Death

Life and Death On the day of our demise, as that final moment descends The only thing of importance, will be our family and our friends We won’t care about our money, our car or cellular phone We’ll just want to be loved and not spending that moment alone How we choose to live, will dictate exactly how we die None of us will live forever, so savor each beautiful sky Some of us will leave this earth young and others will be old Always live for today, no matter what you are told Sweep your doorstep daily, never let life’s garbage accrue Be vigilant everyday in all you say and do Stay mindful of what’s important and always continue to climb It doesn’t matter how long we get it’s how we spend our time. 11/15/21 Mark Koplin

Full of wisdom and sound advice Mark, death will come like a thief in the night, how we lived that life is how we will be judged. Tom
