What if

Thoughts during a scary plane ride

What if I was gone tomorrow

Either by Destiny’s design,

The Fates’ sharp shears,

God’s divine plan,

Or Nature’s course

No reason for an early end.

 

The questions unanswered

For those that I love,

For those that care,

Those that wonder,

And those unknown

Bounding to limits unrequited.

 

I have stated my feelings

Of infinite love,

Undisputed respect,

Unconditional support,

And fathomless trust

But there things unspoken.

 

Life is so unpredictable

Sometimes long,

Other times short,

Unexpected endings,

And heart-tearing waits

Awaiting the eventual end.

 

Time is not our friend

Don’t wait for later,

Don’t hold it in,

Keep love in your life,

Spread joy in the world

For what if you were gone tomorrow.

Oh boy, sorry for the scarey flight, but it does give us pause as to where our priorities rest, beautifully stated...

Be always safe,
Karen

The world would be a sad, sad place without you!
The cats would go insane waiting for your return.
I wouldn't be the same but I would manage somehow.

I agree with everything you said.Time can by so fast and we need to appreciate everything that we have from our family to our friends.Life is more precious than anything that we can even imagine.Take care

Edwin

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
