Living While We Live
LIVING WHILE WE LIVE
“DEATH”
the infamous ‘d’ word our souls won’t discuss
as euphemisms abound in numerous array
he “passed away” or “returned home”
she “has gone to a better place” went “to be with her Lord”
“DENIAL”
in our attempts at personal projection we joke
reverently right or flippantly sway left
“he took a dirty nap” while “kicking the bucket”
she has “cashed in her chips” -- “bites the dust” has “croaked”
“DECLARE”
we are not prepared to live until prepared to die
death plays no favorites and overlooks no pride
there are no guarantees to what our life may bring
focus on what a moments precious time can achieve
bring joy to others in personal ways as we overflow
love unconditionally - live life to the full abundantly
receive both good and bad as they come from God’s
