PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

On any give day…for countless reasons why…

on average…160,000 people across the world will die.

If you knew you were one of those 160,000 people today…

If you knew by tomorrow you’d be dead…

I wonder…what’s the first thought that pops into your head?

Is there a person you just thought of…out of all the people you know?

A person whose voice you want to hear one last time before you go?

Is there someone from your past who you’d like one last time to see?

Would you want to say I love you and hug one last time…your friends and family?

Would you want to watch the sunrise one last time 

or one last time…count the stars up in the sky?

Is there a place you want go to one last time before you say goodbye?

Since you don’t know if today will be just another day you have amassed… 

or if you’ll be one of those 160,000 people…and today will be your last.

Doesn’t that make each moment of each day important

before you leave this world behind…

to do the things a moment ago…that popped into your mind?
