BEFORE I DIE!

            Gasping and fighting to get to the smallest glimpse of the LIGHT

waking up scared and drenched in sweat
realizing it’s nothing but a nightmare,leding to a short prayer
I get up to cool off and  drink a glass of water
to drown the fear that woke me up!

Plenty of sins I have done  
I do not know if the good I did is enough
to grant me a passage to heaven
or worse, born again as human; Perfection is superficial

Never cared for what people thought, but always listened
never worried about those who left, but always heard them in my heart
never a minute I spent crying over the past
what had to happen, had to happen! GOD has all the answers.

what I was yesterday is what I am better today,
yet people will still see the imperfection, I wonder why!

I take life as it comes
 grateful, no regrets and greater challenges

with the guillotine waiting at every step,
uncertainty looms large over tomorrow,
I fear I need to live every moment
of today before I am dead!

               Every second is a highlight!
