If I Was to Die Tomorrow....
by M.E.(Bunny) Eastveld
If I was to die tomorrow... I think I could accept it gracefully. I've been fortunate in this life, More fortunate than many... less so than some.
When I was young, I dreamed of only a few things that I really wanted,
a horse,
to go to New Zealand and Australia.... To love and be loved.
I love, now, and am loved in return. It's mature, comfortable, soothing.... Warm. Not the flash of youth, but something better. More substantial, and real, a lover and best friend.
If I was to die tomorrow I'd have few regrets... I've seen the sunset on the Tasman Sea... I've lived life fully and kept my sense of humor.
I'm older and wiser, but not so wise as all that... because I still dream. But I know now that dreams are the result of blood, sweat and tears.
I have projects to complete, people to make amends with, to love and cherish, still... I'm really too busy right now, to die, but...
I have lived my dreams... my sorrows and partings.... my hopes and wishes, and so:
If I was to die tomorrow... would I miss the earthly delights? It depends on what is to follow... after this life.
If it is the void of the atheists, what matter? If it is the burning in hellfire, will I feel it? If it is the paradise of the christians,
will I miss my
pets? I hope it is just an end. No sorrow, no pain, no consciousness, nothing.
If I was to die tomorrow...
What would become of my friends, family, lover...
all that I hold dear?
I can't bear to think of what will
or could happen to them... But, I won't know...
Or will I?
