How many
have you ever wondered how many days you have left? how many hours, how many minutes?
how many sunsets or sunrises?
how much laughter, how many tears?
how many bigger, bigger loves from the tight arms of a child?
how many feelings do you have left?
how many words yet to speak?
how many poems yet to write?
how many songs yet to sing?
gather all these things while you can
for life can simple end without warning.
