Almost died the night before

Tears were in my eyes

Woke up to my surprise

No longer can I hide from the night before

Invest in yourself

Funny how things turn out

A person takes stock in themselves

Creates opportunity no doubt

Yet we must grant forgiveness to ourselves

Mortality

A curious thing

Brings us face to face with our morality

And what we bring

Almost died the night before

Tears were in my eyes

Woke up to my surprise

No longer can I hide from the night before

What is befitting?

I cannot say

But we can change

If I wake to see a new day

Older person says

Take nothing for granted

The experience of a fate

A reality check for the enchanted

Fear not but act

Clarify the essence

Clear out what has no use

Strengthen the convalescence
