Someday... Poem by Dakota Ellerton

If I die young,
most ends would be tied.
There's always something left undone,
so long as my thoughts reached the borders.
I have loved, and been loved.
I have laughed, I have cried.
I've made love, I've smiled.
Such a shameless life I've been living.
With death so close,
I'd gladly live every second.
I'd never embrace death,
if I didnt first embrace life.
A number of things on my list,
remain unfufilled.
But I'd make peace with it.
Knowing I could enjoy the company of loved ones,
and they could enjoy mine,
would satisfy me.
Memories and love,
are unconditional, and never fade.
I've had enough time,
to accomplish the thing's I needed to.
I may not see the reflection of who I wanted,
but it can't be helped.
I am what I am.
