I wasn't ready to die
Too many things left to do
Letters went unwritten
Praises long overdue So many things I had put off
To do another day
Lord, how can this be
Is it too late to pray
I wasn't ready to die
So much left undone
No final word to my daughter
No goodbye's to my son
No time to make things right
Or take back words I said
No way to make amends
For all the tears shed
I wasn't ready to die
How could I have known
That in one final moment
My life would be gone
A million things left undone
No way to change my fate
Live your life to the fullest
Before it is too late...
Hi Linda, I have not been able to read you for 6 years, so I hope you are very well. This poem was excellent and to the point. Yes live your life to it's fullest. There are no second chances.
GOD BLESS YOU

yes i agree with every one here !!!
it touches my heart too!!
My dearest sister Linda: The future is now, today is before us, and yesterday we can not change. All we have is this moment to do right and be a blessing to others. Jesus said I quote ' Let your light shine before men so they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven '. This is a magnificent piece of poetry never stop blessing Us! Peace!!!
Wonderfully written Linda. No one knows but the father when our life will end and yes we should live every day as though it were our last. May God bless you every day of your life.
I live each day as if it may will be my last when it comes to tellign those I care about how I feel. Life is love and when I go I do not want anyone to wonder how I felt about them...

Linda the message in this is simple but oh so wise. Cutting to the chase, finding what's real, eliminating (if at all possible) the superfluous, embracing others with love, and finding our gifts and nurturing them so we may bless others. Brava!
