If I Would Die Tomorrow

If I would die tomorrow, I could have joy for everything I’ve done.
What I haven’t done never existed, and cannot compare.

I have known the joy of great, true love
and the miracle of giving life.

I have been kissed by the sun and touched by the ocean,
and so I am lucky.

I have heard music, and danced, and laughed.

I have encountered many wonderful creatures,
and so I am blessed.

I have visited lands that are constantly in creation,
touching the spirit of the earth; glimpsing the beginning of all life.

In dreams I have flown and had wonderful adventures
that couldn’t exist anywhere else.

I have known hardships, and loss, and sickness;
and I survived to find joy again.

I learned the value of being in the moment  and living “as if “
instead of wondering “what if “
May I always remember.

I have lived well and I am loved.
