2008-08-08 - the brevity of life
what will really matter when your life comes in review
as you look over the memories and things that you went through
your successes and your failures and the people that you knew
all the motives for the things that you did or didn't do?
someone said almost all the people they had spoken to
who were facing their last moments in their final interview
had just one main regret or relief admitted to
and it wasn't for more money, greater status, more taboo
no, it wasn't for more fun, greater power, more to do
it was usually more expressed in terms of love toward those they knew.
did they spend their time investing love into the ones
who had come across their paths, or their family, daughters, sons,
or neighbors and aquaintances and people they had known
was it love by their deeds and their time that they had shown?
these are things that need to be considered while we live
so we don't have regrets when the time has passed to give.
these are things I pray for my time to be spent on
as the sands slip through the hour glass of time
before they're gone.
