What if I told you...

What if I told you?

Today was your last day

That this will be the last sunrise you will ever see

You might actually observe it, the colors merging together

The palette of grays becoming one with the sun

Ever changing as you breathe

And presence its transformation into a whole new day

What if I told you?

Today was the last time

 Your feet will walk through earth

Where would you go? What would you do?

Would you run or would you kneel?

Would you dance or crawl breaking into tears?

What if I told you?

Today was the last day

You will open your eyes

What would you see?

Would you discover the beauty?

So many times you didn’t have time to see

Would you see the leaves?

Dancing under the wind’s eternal pace

What if I told you?

Today was the last day

You could talk and speak

Would you sing? Or would you cry?

Would you whine asking why?

Or would you say thanks for what you could say in the past.

Let’s just assume

This was a game

And that this is actually not your last day

Would you still wake up tomorrow?

Rushing through life

Dragging your feet

Stressing over the traffic, the weather,

The way your kids scream and are messy.

Or would you look up to the sky

Enjoying the birds, the rainbow, the rain

Would you hold your loved ones tight?

And let them know you love them to the sky.

Play this game every night

End your day feeling grateful for all

The blessings, hidden treasures, kisses and hugs

The disguised opportunities, the joy in the small.

Close your eyes feeling fulfilled and content

So in case you actually take your last breath

There is nothing but a smile left on your serene face.
