If I die today.

If I die today what will my  neighbors say?

Where will the children play?

Will women still be killed with words of hate?

Because they were born to look this way.

Will diseases like Cancer and Aids kill children who never got a chance to see.

A world full of color, love and mystery.

Will my children wonder where I went?

Will my son get the care package that  I recently sent?

Will the yard get mowed, will fires be stoked?

Will my granddaughter ever be exposed to my words?

Will she hear the same calling that I always heard?

I could sit and wonder till my breath goes away.

Instead I think I will go out and make it an earth shattering good day .

I will look beyond myself and think of my sister or brother and help them along the way.

And if the dark shadows take me by surprise

I will know that time was not wasted wondering

What if I die ?
