So many 'what ifs' in life--and, certainly, you would be missed if the if became true...
The closing lines to this are wonderful...thanks for sharing...

Carpe Diem...
Sieze the momment...

Or as an old Japanese proverb states...

Enjoy yourself.
It's later then you think.

Great one, Josie. The idea is to loosen the imagination. There are too many what ifs in the world. Just write because you enjoy it and there is an audience that gives you feedback. That's all that counts.

yes I'd be sad, but the reality for all of is that... we go on...no matter who what where when...so it is true we have but the moment... so lets make it good;-)

Oh yes, we would be missed but more than that I feel you are telling us to live each day as though it were our last. Pack in as much as possible. Write that extra poem, those lines of prose, that letter to a friend. Don't let the inevitable catch you unawares. Leave part of you behind for those who know you now and those who come after and read about you.
Great poem.
Thank you.

Hi Jo,
Seems this is sort of a process for all of us I think--boiling it all down to being
okay--no matter what. Pictures of it like this help a lot to keep out of the maze of "Important Details." Thanks Vicky
