Living Life

Living Life What if my life changed tomorrow Or I slept the sleep of death Would I leave a trail of sorrow As I struggle for each breath Would I have time to make amends To those that I have wronged And tell my beloved friends How much I've loved them all along? What if I should live But the life that I once knew Came crashing down around me And my world was all askew Would I have the courage To accept it and go on Or bemoan my fate forever Mourning a life that now is gone? In death you have no choice As to when it comes to call In life...there is no timetable When tragedy will be befall There are no second chances In this life that we are living Now is the only time we have To be loving and forgiving Live each day completely As though it were your last Cherish each and every moment For life goes by too fast Copyright©2004 Beatrice Boyle (All rights reserved)
