if I had only five minutes to live
I’d spend them with you

if I had but few words left to my voice
I’d say them to you

if I had just one bit of emotion still in my heart
I’d trust it to you

if I had no strength remaining at all
I’d still look for you

Sigh...True devotion is so tender.  Thank you for sharing.

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

The woeful whiff of if...one should measure their time and words as though they were their last because you never know.

If this doesn't say love---nothing could. In just a few well-chosen words too. Very well put.

Short and sweet, and written to perfection. It's amazing how so few words can say so much.

Alright, Stop reading my mind.  I don't like having my thoughts tapped into.   Beautiful poem, keep it up.
