Last Thoughts Poem by John Grinols

So many ways we pass from this world, to the next;
Many thoughts that entertain our minds!
How I have wondered, what the last thought,
A man has before he dies?
Does it change as a situation will arise?

The Captain, bravely standing at the wheel,
Of his vessel, as the waves swallow his soul.
The soldier, in the heat of battle,
Meets his enemy, eye to eye!
The person, free falling through the air, desperate;
His last step; an accident from the side of a cliff!

And, the ones who passed away in their sleep;
Do we wonder, "What was their dream? "
Or, the moment, before a life ends in suicide;
That very day, the person cries for help.
No one is listening.

I wonder, "What is the last thought on my mind;
Should I die, shall I find? "
