How can my life be over

There was so much left to do...

I put off until tomorrow

Because I never knew...

So Much time was wasted

I didn't see the simple things...

The ones that give you all the joy

Now there gone from me...

I've heard that Time was Golden

But I did not understand ...

Or did I just refuse to believe

Like many a mortal man...

No more Orange Sunsets

No more Golden Dawns ...

No more sounds of laughter

To carry into the  Beyond...

Only regrets for things undone...

Worn like a halo upon my head...

Only If I would have ...

The final words I said...

In this Life uncertain

One thing I must know...

Every moment is my treasure

Every Day is my Tomorrow...

And if my life be over

With so much left for me to do...

 And I put off until tomorrow

Because I never knew...

I will remember Orange Sunsets

I will remember Golden Dawns ...

I will hear the sounds of laughter

And carry them into the  Beyond...
