If This Your Last Day

If This Your Last Day

If this your last day on earth,
And no more chance of re-birth,
Think what will cross your mind first,
As you turn to ashes, back to dust…

Would you patch up with a friend so dear?
Whom you ignored, now, he is no longer near,
Will this cross your mind first?
As you turn to ashes, back to dust…

Would you say sorry, to a parent oh so far?
For being away, like a pinned up star,
Will this cross your mind first?
As you turn to ashes, back to dust…

Would you take away the words of hurt?
Showered on your love, was it worth?
Will this cross your mind first?
As you turn to ashes, back to dust…

Would you make up for the false promise?
To be with your love, oh those moments you missed,
Will this cross your mind first?
As you turn to ashes, back to dust…

Would you wonder, why ambitions ruled your life?
Withered relation, will you try to mend with your wife,
Will this cross your mind first?
As you turn to ashes, back to dust…

Would your senses at least now be alive?
To see your child’s wait back home for a while,
Will this cross your mind first?
As you turn to ashes, back to dust…

Would you stop being busy at work?
As time is less, and useless is the perk,
Will this cross your mind first?
As you turn to ashes, back to dust…

Would you think why did you forget to smile?
But now that you are dying, will you smile for a while,
Will this cross your mind first?
As you turn to ashes, back to dust…

Would you enjoy moments left, or undo the wrong?
As you see the end, end of life’s song,
Moving back to the earth’s crust,
As you turn to ashes, back to dust…
