Will of My Life-W

I have lived life as it were last day But learn each day as if I’ll forever. I would not look at the clock And I would not my heart lock. If death is a certainty in life It is love’s labor’s lost to strive Then why should one but a death fear As I understand death is but a slumber. It is just sleep in eternity to rise It is the very death that dies. Life is eternal so I don’t die To me death is not a dramatic event It’s neither an end nor deliverance Life is only a stage, a passage A brief moment in a cosmic cycle. I have no regrets of the life I lived And have lived the life full to its brim I am ready to go as predestined Lord, untie the strings to my life. If today is last day, tomorrow too late I would say good bye to yesterday. =============================== Fifth Placement Contest: If I had jusr one day left to live

Live does come full circle and we pass from Earthly life to eternal life. Like you, I have no fear, but there are some regrets. Very good analysis of your last day, Dr. Ram, and I wish you well in the contest! Love, Carolyn

Dr. Ram, this is one of the wisest of the entries on living one's last day as if it were the end (it's for that contest, right/?). I think this one should be very high in the winner's circle. One of your best writings!! LUv, Andrea
