Wonders From The Time Of Death Poem by Steven Cardona

AS ONE COMES TO DEATH ONE WONDERS;
WHETHER IT WAS WORTH TO LIVE,
WHETHER IT WAS WORTH TO DIE,
WHETHER IT WAS WORTH TO SAY THE TRUTH,
OR WETHER IT WAS ALL THE SAME TO LIE,

AS ONE COMES TO DEATH HIS MOTHER WONDERS;
HAVE I TREATED HIM RIGHT,
OR HAVE I JUST BROUGHT GRIEF,
DID HE ENJOY HIS ENTIRE LIFE,
OR WAS IT JUST MY BELIEF,

AS ONE COMES TO DEATH HIS FATHER WONDERS;
HAVE I BROUGHT HIM UP WELL,
OR HAS HE LEARNT NOTHING FROM ME;
DID HE ENJOY OUR TIME TOGETHER,
OR WAS IT NOT MEANT TO BE.

AS ONE COMES TO DEATH HIS SISTER WONDERS;
WERE THE FIGHTS WORTH FIGHTING,
OR COULD IT ALL HAVE GONE WORSE,
COULD WE HAVE BEEN BETTER,
OR WAS IT ALL JUST A CURSE.

AS ONE COMES TO DEATH A BEGGER WONDERS;
NOW HOW WILL I GET MONEY,
I CANOT EVEN AFFORD A PHONE,
ALL I KNOW NOW IS....
THAT HIS HOUSE IS NOW ALONE.
