I smoke too many cigarettes,
I drink too much Crown,
don't get enough sleep,
always there when you're down.

I don't drink enough water,
don't eat like I should,
but if it kills me, I'll smile
and say "life was really good"

just because you loved me

This is the truest poem I ever read.  We live too much, laugh too loud and love completely.  what a wonderful way to leave.

Some loves are that defining... even when the losing feels like it surely must kill you... you still feel lucky to have once lived.

Love is a wonderful thing my friend, to die having loved was a life worth the test. Enjoy the good and the bad is outweiged, love we seek of love we speak. Enjoyed Dixie, thanks for sharing, till again.

There may be few words in this poem Dixie, but I enjoyed the powerful impact they portrayed. Nicely penned.

Best wishes,
