At that last second, they thought…



I didn’t say:
Goodbye
I love you
I miss you

I didn’t go:
On that vacation I always wanted to
To my friends barbecue
To my high school reunion

I never finished:
Building that tree house with my family
Making those phone calls to my relatives
Telling my children about the moon

I never started:
Loving
Giving
Living

People die.

It happens all the time
Every day
Every minute
Every second
All over the world


People live.
It happens all the time
Every day
Every minute
Every second
All over the world


And it’s sad, and it’s happy, and it’s frightening, and it’s something, and it’s nothing, and it’s hard, and it’s easy, and it is.
It is

It is


Life…it is.
