The First Thing On Your Mind

A toaster can be shocking
and it just might take your life.

You might someday poke yourself
with spoon or fork or knife.

Tripping on a stairway,
could also end your days,

to count the chance to leave this world,
there are so many ways.

But worry not the little things
or what your mind pretends;

the first thing on your mind all day,
should not be how it ends.

I love the premise of the poem. Life should be about the good things in the moment and those that could be made! Awesome!

Very true, if we pondered on all the ways we could die, we would never leave the house. Regardless it's still a scary concept to get your head around! Best not to think about it. I enjoyed your poem. Have a nice day.
