I Never Knew Poem by Wayne Leon Learmond

I Never Knew
..................


I never knew
that that day
when I raised
my resting head

That it would be
the last day
I would ever
spend in bed

I never knew the
the walk I took
in the park that day

would be my
last walk ever
before I'd go away

I never knew the
smiles I gave
or all the hands
I shook

I never knew
the words I spoke
or read from a book

I never knew
the ride I took
upon the bus that day

All of those things
would be my last
before I passed away

Beating heart
stopped beating
on my journey home

And life is just not fair
when you are dying
all alone

And whosoever
should read
these words

while taking
their life
for granted

be sure that Death
will find you out
sooner than you
expected...
