If This Should Be The Day I Die Poem by Matthew Holloway

If this should be the day I die
Be it by accident, murder or suicide
I'd like my poems to all be read
In the hope they reach someones soul
Ply the heart strings or inspire the mind
At least something may come of my life
If this should be the day I die
What if anything, I leave behind
Is of worth to another soul
Count the value of this life then
Tell me in prayer if it was well spent
Leave a letter upon my chest
Before the fire and flame take away
All thatwould remain of a mortal form
If this should be the day I die
Shed no tears, please do not cry
For what is to be will always come
There is no denying fate and time
All I hope is a verse I write
Can grant me some form of eternal life
If this should be the day I die
Kiss my forehead and whisper softly
Goodnight
