Six Weeks to Live

contest entry - poem - 126 words

If I had six weeks to live
What would I do?
Would I party like a rock star?
Or feel sorry for myself?
Would I make amends?
Or push further afar?

If I had six weeks to live
What would I do?
I’d take my daughter
On a rowdy journey!
We’ll be boisterous
Till we are weary

If I had six weeks to live
What would I do?
I’d love like no tomorrow
I’d learn how to dance
I’d pray for forgiveness
For things I have done

If I had six weeks to live
What would I do?
I’d thank God for
The blessings
He has given
Because if not for Him
I would never have been
The woman I was
Full of vigor and vim
