This is Another Poem Written Around the time my Grandmother's only living sibling--my great-aunt-- passed away and before the pandemic got extremely worse in the United States.
Title: If I Die
If I die tomorrow, would I be happy?
Yes, I would!
I lived my life helping others, learning new things and being goal-oriented!
But also, no, I had many emotions that caused me to not act like myself.
If I could, I would go back to change some things I have done. But you can’t, you can only reflect on your past.
Would you be happy?
With the life you left behind?
Did you live a life filled with purpose and joy or was it filled with pain, misery, and sorrow?
Can you say that you treated people with respect, love and kindness?
IF not, what would you change about the way you treated people? The mistakes you made? The life you created for yourself?
Think about these questions as each day goes by.
Remember that you can only get one life here on earth.
And you NEVER know when our creator, Jesus, will call you to be home with Him.
IF I die tomorrow,
Would you be happy with the life you would leave behind?
