IF I DIED TONIGHT

If I Died Tonight

​If I died tonight, would my name be whispered,
In the somber darkness, where shadows restore,
Would tears fall like rain, from eyes that had missed,
The beating of a heart they'd so often adore?

If I died tonight, would laughter turn to silence,
As echoes of my laughter fade into the night,
Would memories paint portraits, vibrant and timeless,
Keeping my spirit alive, burning bright?

If I died tonight, would regrets claw at the door,
Of hearts left behind, burdened with remorse,
Would they seek solace in words left unsaid,
Longing for a chance, a moment to endorse?

If I died tonight, would the stars paint a tapestry,
With constellations formed in the shape of my dreams,
Would the moon sing a symphony, haunting and free,
In honor of a life that danced with moonbeams?

If I died tonight, would love blanket the world,
A balm for the souls that grieve my departure,
Would kindness rise like sprouting buds unfurled,
A testament to love's everlasting nurture?

If I died tonight, let it be a catalyst,
To cherish each breath, each fragile heartbeat,
For life's truest measure lies not in the vast,
But in the moments treasured, oh so sweet.

If I died tonight, let it be a reminder,
That life's fragile beauty should never be ignored,
That in every heartbeat, in every passing hour,
Lies the potential for a life fully adored.
