Poetry

I got an email today
It said an old friend of mine
Had died today

God had drawn the line
And his weary body
Was ready to cross it

His family is at a loss
But just maybe
His spirit is ageless

I got an email today
It made me think of tomorrow
And to reflect back at the time borrowed

What would you do
If the doc told you
Your time has grown short

Get your life in order
And say your goodbyes
To your husband or wife

Say your goodbyes
To your kids
When they were your life

I got an email today
It told me life is too short
To short to sit back and waste it
