Feeling Alive

A person dying, but trying to live to the fullest!

 

 

Death is knocking at my door;

I'm not ready yet!

So many things left to do,

living is what I must choose!

 

Take a walk on the beach,

hear the roaring of the waves.

The ocean breeze flapping my hair

while I walk barefoot in the sand,

feeling alive!

 

Getting weaker, but I must go on.

Take a ride on the roller coaster

at the county fair.

I raise my hands up high

as we decend down hill,

feeling alive!

 

The time is getting closer.

I must prepare!

I bow my head and say a prayer,

feeling alive!

 

Now I must say goodbye.

I  walk through the tunnel of light.

I see heaven's gate!

I'm feeling alive!

 

Author's Note

Just a poem that came to me on living while you know your dying! The peace you feel once you see heaven's gate.

Wonderfully written. I wish everyone would live everyday like it was their last. Love the ones they are with as if they will never see them again. The world would be much more of a peaceful place. The ending is touching, gives hope to the reader.

But we are all dying. From the point of birth on. That is the one certainty of life. Some just die a little sooner then others.

[Dark Aeris]

Don't we all strive to feel alive.

So many things go unfinished... when life comes to whisk you away.. perfectly laid down sentiments.. well done!!

[Stef Outsiders]

It is nice that he/she got to do something before he/she said goodbye, but I felt sad that they are gone.
Its a lovely poem though...
