IF I DIE TODAY


If I die today,    
Time through my eyes will stop.    
Tomorrow will no longer come for me,   
I won't see another sunrise    
Nor sunset. 

If I die today, my ears will know silence.  
My body will learn the full definition of rest.   
I won't know where my mind will go.

If I die today, please understand that I am sorry 

I had all the time in the world to apologize,    
Fix my wrongs, spend more time with those   
Who needed me and loved more.

But I didn't 

But if I do die today,     
Know that I appreciate everyone       
Who entered in to my life 

Y'all made it worth living.

So if I die today....

           -Tom-
