But Life Poem by Connie Webb

But Life

Rating: 5.0


I think of when it is all over
No more worries about the bills
Or the health checkups
Or the state of the nation,
But life
Oh how I would miss life
The laughs
The good times
When all I have to do
Is see my son or daughter
And a smile appears.
I think of when it is all over
No more having to make my bed
Or do the dishes
Or worry about what to wear,
But life
Oh how I would miss life
The music
The dancing
The way the moon shines
The sun rises
No matter where you are.
I think of when it is all over
No more brushing my hair
Or sweeping a floor
Or dusting the cobwebs away,
But life
Oh how I would miss life
The relatives
The friends
The beaches
The redwoods.
I think of when it is all over
No more aches or pains
Or fears
Or bad memories
But life
Oh how I would miss life
So I think I will just
Breathe
And live.
