After Today Poem by Dare Onadele

After Today

Rating: 4.5


After today I may die
So I'll make hays while the sun shines
Heal my world with words and smiles
Who knows tonight I may bid it bye

After today I may die
So I'll share my abode with peasants to rest
There they can relax till sun goes to set
Tomorrow there I may no more lie

After today I may die
So I'll give water to souls that thirst
Feed the hungry with food I've left
The unclad in cold I'll clothe and dry

After today what if I do not die
I'd have made this world a better place
Made a difference in my little space
Lived daily like it's last before I pass by

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Death is a debt we all must pay. The time for payment varies and even sometimes sooner than imagined. Therefore, there's the need to live each day like it's the last. But if it's not, we would have shown good seed of love each day we await the ultimate.

So very true and sadly to say the only guarantee in life is death, and it's always nice to be nice. A very enjoyable read. Annette
