PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Today I woke and knew it was my day to die.

I ate my breakfast and kissed my wife.

I watched the morning news and made the bed.

I knew the next day I'd be dead.



Today I woke and knew tomorrow I'd be gone.

I went to work and mowed the lawn.

I picked up the kids and then came home.

I knew in hours they'd be on their own.



Yet I knew my going must be fated-

For, this morning when I woke,

I was elated.
