My Last

If I knew that the sunrise 
Would soon be my last
Would the warmth on my face
Feel like never before
Does a light shine more brightly
When the journey has passed
A question unanswered
As my eyes close forever
Still wanting for more

If I stood in the rain
With my face to the sky
Could I feel every raindrop
While closing my eyes
Would the rain cool my face
Like never before
As my last summer rain
Leaves me wanting for more

If I listen more closely
There's music to be heard
The sound of the wind
The song of a bird
The water that flows over rocks in a creek
The swaying of trees
The rustle of leaves
Are gifts that remind me
With time to look back
I realize that moment 
Could be my last
