NEED TO SAY
THERE IS SOMETHING ~ I MUST SAY
SHOULD LIFE STOP ON EARTH ~ FOR ME TODAY
SUCH A VERY SHORT TIME LEFT.
WHAT TO DO ?
WHAT TO SAY ?
I KNOW THAT THERE HAS TO BE SOME LIGHT
IN THE DARKEST OF PLACES.
I KNOW THAT IN BLACKNESS ,
EVERY COLOR OF THE SPECTRUM EXISTS.
I THINK ...
WELL,
IT SEEMS ALL I DO IS THINK.
YET,
THIS I KNOW.
AND I KNOW THIS BECAUSE...
I HAVE REPEATEDLY LIVED THIS.
WHAT CAN YOU FIND POSITIVE IN KNOWING
DEATH IS ONLY A FEW STEPS AWAY?
IT FLOODED MY BEING
IN ONE SWEEPING WAVE OF UNDERSTANDING.
THE NEGATIVES.
THE POSITIVES.
I THINK THAT NEGATIVELY SPEAKING
DEATH HOLDS A FEAR FACTOR.
THE UNKNOWN.
THE FINALITY.
THE REGRETS AND MISTAKES,
WASTED TIME,
PAINS OF HURTING THOSE
WE LOVED
OR
DIDN'T LOVE ENOUGH.
NOT SEEING THE LIGHT THAT FOREVER SHINES
BRIGHTEST IN THE BLACKEST OF BLACKS.
WHAT TO DO?
DO IT ALL !
SAY IT ALL !
THE POSITIVE BEING,
THE LIGHT....
THE GIFT.
I REALIZED A VERY LONG TIME AGO,
THAT GOD HANDS A GIFT TO THOSE WHO
ARE TOLD THEIR LIVES HERE WILL END
WITHIN A CERTAIN SHORT TIME FRAME.
GOD GIVES THIS GIFT SO THAT YOU HAVE
THAT OPPORTUNITY TO DO AND TO SAY
IT ALL BEFORE YOU LEAVE THIS EARTHLY HOME.
TO RIGHT WRONGS,
TO SAY THANK YOU,
TO SAY IM SORRY,
TO SAY I LOVE YOU,
TO SAY GOODBYE.
TO LET OTHERS KNOW THAT THEY
WHERE.....
ARE....
A PIECE OF YOU
AND YOUR LIFE HERE.
MAYBE,
YOU NEED TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING...
ANYTHING.....
THAT WILL HELP YOU AND THAT PERSON
WHOSE LIFE IS SLOWLY EBBING AWAY
COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT THAT
THEIR VERY EXISTENCE WAS NOT IN VAIN.
THAT THEIR DYING IS NOT
SOME CRUEL PUNISHMENT
TO THEM AND THOSE WHO LOVE THEM.
I THINK.....
ONCE PAST THIS,
THE LIGHT GROWS EVER MORE INTENSE.
REMINDING ME OF THE DAWN OF MORNING,
PEAKING TO THE BRILLIANCE
OF AFTERNOON SUNGLOW,
THEN FINALLY FADING
INTO THE SUNSET OF OUR LIVES.
AND
IN THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT,
EACH AND EVERY LUMINOUS HUE
IS COLLECTED AND STORED.
THESE ARE
OUR LIFE'S ACTIONS
COLLECTIVELY ACCUMULATED.
FORMING
" OUR MEMORIES "
AND
MEMORIES ARE ETERNAL.
SO I GUESS WHAT IM REALLY TRYING TO SAY IS :
LIVE EACH DAY
LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN PRESENTED
WITH THIS GIFT OF TIME.
WE ALL HAVE IT.
TAKE THE TIME TO SAY :
IM SORRY.
I LOVE YOU.
FORGIVE ME.
I LOVE YOU.
I FORGIVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU.
THANK YOU.
I LOVE YOU.
IM SORRY.
I LOVE YOU...
I CARRY YOU WITH ME ALWAYS
BECAUSE
I LOVE YOU.
HOW BRIGHT THE JOURNEY AFTER
ALL IS SAID.
ONE MORE TWIRL
AROUND THE DANCE FLOOR....
BEFORE THE WALK
TO HEAVENS DOOR.
NO MORE LEFT TO SAY ~
IF LIFE STOPS FOR ME TODAY
