I Never Knew
..................
I never knew
that that day
when I raised
my resting head
That it would be
the last day
I would ever
spend in bed
I never knew the
the walk I took
in the park that day
would be my
last walk ever
before I'd go away
I never knew the
smiles I gave
or all the hands
I shook
I never knew
the words I spoke
or read from a book
I never knew
the ride I took
upon the bus that day
All of those things
would be my last
before I passed away
Beating heart
stopped beating
on my journey home
And life is just not fair
when you are dying
all alone
And whosoever
should read
these words
while taking
their life
for granted
be sure that Death
will find you out
sooner than you
expected...
