The Unknown

What if the world ended today,
                         How would you react to this?
                             Would you say:
         “oh, I have seen the world and all it has to give.”

                         
                          What if you look back,
                   To all the memories that you hide?
                       Would all of them be happy,
                          Or would you sit and cry?


                          What if someone asked you:
                     “What have you done with your life?”
                        Would you sit there with a smile,
                        And say that you have lived it right?


                        So, when you look back on your life,
                               Always ask yourself this:

                       "WHAT IF SOMEONE ASKED YOU?"
                       "WHAT ANSWER WOULD YOU GIVE?"

Mmmmm, great questions; not too many people tend to think about it, unless they feel death is poking their backbone; indeed...people tend to think that if they are 20, 30 or 40, they have not lived that much, yet in a year many things can happen, imagine in 20....in comparisson to those who have lived 80 or 100 years it is nothing but, anyway 20 years is a lot....so, we should all think abour how much have we done in our lifetime, no matter how extensive it is; thanks for the experience C=
