    Introspect

    I find myself asking what direction my life is going in
    How did I get myself into this emotional tailspin?
    Why am I running through life like an aimless whirlwind?
    It’s because I’ve realized that tomorrow is not a given.
    At any moment life can end…
    Or love can end…
    For both will end.
    See, before my heart knew real sorrow
    Before my chest felt hollow
    I used to live for tomorrow
    Next week…
    Next month…
    Next year…
    Trying vainly to borrow
    More moments of life
    More pleasures of love
    That was a time when love was all that mattered in life
    That was a time when I had a family – two kids and a wife
    So life was all that mattered
    But soon all that was shattered
    Even still I have to remind myself that I’m not supposed to care
    Even still I think about the past and have the NERVE to shed a tear
    Even still I feel my ring but my finger remains bare
    Even still I feel you in my heart though you have made it clear…
    That you…
    Were never…
    Really…
    Ever…
    There.

    Life only have 1 choice. Eternity has many! from everlasting to everlasting. I'm feeling you:)

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
