DID I FORGET
We don’t know when we’re visiting with a family member or a friend…
if today will be the last day…the day a life will end.
We don’t know if it is the last time we’ll find comfort in their eyes…
the last moment we will see them smile…
our last chance to say goodbye.
As for me…I don’t want my life to end in sorrow…
with sadness and regret…
I don’t want my last thoughts in life to be…Did I forget?
Did I forget to smile at the other person standing over there?
Did I forget to tell them thank you…or show how much I care?
Did I forget to say I’m sorry if I brought tears to another person’s eyes…
if I hurt another person…did I forget to apologize?
Did I forget to enjoy the beauty around me…everything I hear and see…
Did I forget to tell the ones I love…I love them…and how much they mean to me?
Wait! It occurs to me as I’m writing this…I am still alive!
At least for another moment…
another day…
I have survived!
Which means I still have time left to live with no regrets…
time to ensure my final thought in life…
will not be…
Did I forget.
