Only Fifteen Minutes

If you were told right now,

you only have fifteen minutes to live,

how would you spend that time,

since time does not forgive?



I'd spend my waning moments,

with all those that I hold dear.

taking each precious second to voice my love,

as my final minute draws near.



I'd want to go out of this world,

with them, there in my eyes.

Bid them all a final farewell

before I head up to His skies.



I wouldn't waste a single second

of the time I have remaining.

I wouldn't miss, even one heartbeat

in the love I'd be proclaiming.



I'd make each one count for something,

give all, a part of me to remember.

In those, my final fifteen minutes,

in that last hour of my life's December.
