Poetry: Facing death

I want to live forever.

As time passes by I see the world around me
turning, moving, changing
Looking out my window, afraid I'm missing so much
I want to live forever

Experience every taste and sound, to learn all I can
Falling in love all over again each and every day
Watching the smiling faces on my children as they play
I want to live forever

Don't take my breath or forget my words
Don't let me fade into memories forgotten and unshared

Time passes, hair turns gray
A lifetime lived along the way
I want to live forever

When I look into the eyes of my children, their children and their children
I know
I will live forever
