7. I’d see only love and affection
In my loved ones’
shining eyes
I’d smile
at each
word spoken
Whether praise …or news…or lies…
8. I’d savor every tasty morsel,
Relish each delicious sip ,
Of the crispy morning’s breakfast,
And eagerly start the day’s first trip
9. As I traveled to my destination
I’d be amazed by all the sights
The brilliance and bright colors
The rich textures, tones and lights
10. Upon arriving I’d be touched
As the wind brushed my face
By the loving freshness
Of heaven’s hem’s embrace
11. Crisp clarity
would be noted
In that clean
pure air
Of the simple
little office
Especially
prepared
for me there
12. Every minute of the schedule
Of this
enchanted
day
Would be
full Of
inspiration
Everything
would seem to go my way
13. And if there
Was a second
that wasn’t going
magnificently …I’d
Just find a way to
enjoy it
Knowing
great things
soon would be…
14. As the dusk crept in slowly
Gratitude would swell my heart
For this precious life experience
That was golden from the start…
15. Because I’d chosen
to sense each detail
In the most pleasing way
That I could possibly imagine…
So I could have… a lovely day
16. There is a
perfect reason
For making
that
wise choice
That’s
delivered
to me often
As I recall
my
mother’s
voice
17. When she told me
how to live life
With her final breath…
“LOVE
each second
like it’s your last
So regret
won’t plague
your death…”
18. If a bomb destroyed this place
As I fret about my life
Would I regret……
Complaining about
my troubles and
my strife?
19.
20. Wouldn’t we want
a few
more minutes ….
To hold loved ones
in despair …
To tell them
how we loved them ,
how much
we truly cared…?
21. Wouldn’t we beg
for one more
chance…
To feel anything…
at all?
Even those
rough and sticky
patches
That trip us up
and
make us fall?
22. Who wouldn’t
ask Whether life
for Was filled
more time? with
pleasure …
Promising
not to Or full
complain… of problems
and
great pain
23. A Lovely Day
Synthia LaFontaine
I’d swear I’d stop the thinking
That causes one to believe
That anything is awful ….
And avow to always perceive
24. The beauty in
You’d swear you’d stop the thinking
That causes you to believe
That anything is awful
each person
And avow to always perceive…. The looks
that are so sweet
The truth
that life
is way too short
Not something…
one can repeat
25. Oh if only
every doctor
would Call
Every patient
in…
Tell them
life is over,
That
tomorrow …
Was the end
26. And let us
walk out
vowing
To cherish
each moment
Before we go
27. Spreading
love
and
kindness
broadly
Because of
what we know
28. Oh, the call
would come
the next day
Explaining
how he erred
But imagine how
the world
would change…
If we had all felt
that scared…?
