Let’s say we had a year or so It’s what you thought, but did not know What would change, what would you do? What inside would churn in you? Would you change your circumstance? Change your job and take a chance? Do the things you’d love to do? Do what ever yearned in you? Would you sour with despair? Knowing soon you’d not be there Or find a love for time you see? Accepting what was gonna be Would you cherish what was there? Find a different way to share? See the world through different eyes? Cherish every new surprise? Would we try to leave a mark? A memory that your name would spark? A legacy that held your name? A passion some would yearn to tame? If only for a year or so Can happen to the friends we know So maybe everyday we should Live life as that person would |

You ask of life a special view when shortness comes to visit you but if to life you have been true then what is left for one to do? |
