till death does us part

I suppose we all have a lengthened life,
some alone,
some kind,
some hard fought,
some short,
and some long


And we all deal with death in a different way,
some deal with it by not caring,
some by showing how they crumble,
some don't show anything and crumble on the inside.


The thing is we never know when...
when we'll see each other again,
when we'll laugh with each other again,
when we'll go through memories with each other again,
when we'll cry
or when we'll smile.


We all have to think about something...
what do we want as our legacy,
do we want people to think that we're
kind,
funny,
annoying,
or to have a bad reputation.

the fact is that death is real
there's no doubt about it we could just drop dead right now or 
we could live to our 80's and 90's

We can't change when or how we die 
but we can change what people 
think of us when we die


so think hard,
think deep,
think through life,
think about your life,
think about the meaning of life,
think about how you wanna die,
think about who will grieve if you end your life now


I guess what I'm trying to say is that 
we don't know  what will happen 
so live in the moment,
be kind,
respectful, and love,
love all,
 love with all your heart!
