IF EVER MY LIFE ENDS TODAY ...

     If ever my life ends today will it be okay ?
     If its God's will who am to complain, but I pray
     I've had a good life, no regrets, come what may
     Still I'd like to do more if I am allowed to stay

Practically all the things I have dreamed of had happened
I have become me, I am what I am, and I no longer pretend
Guess its fun to be rich again, and for too long I'm on a bend
Been away for so long,and it would be nice to meet old friends

Sorry I say to all my kins  whom I know were all disappointed
Never been the kind of guy that all of them somewhat expected
But things at times just don't turn out like as everybody wanted
They thought I would go far ... but I got caught in my own web

I took a course that I was not suited for, not meant to be a leader
For I was a dreamer, a mind adventurer, not a juggler of numbers
Though I enjoyed my work, my friends ... detailed responsibility
Government work is too messy its hard to toe the line of honesty

All I wanted was to live simply...  find a love I would cherish
Found one, it was not perfect , but still its like a bed of roses
Discovered life's secret, its so easy,  just keep your love happy
Through hell and high waters you'll see,  you'll smile 'till eternity

The 5 kids were a bonus, life's turned harder, yet bit more colorful
Easy to love them and taught them how to live by the golden rule
Never got to give them much but I made sure I gave them my time
Once they get hitched they'll go but in my heart they'll still be mine

At the rate I'm losing my old friends I know I live a borrowed one
Every morning I thanked God and hope more years to stick around
Study more, read more, write and tell others how wonderful life is 
Live your life, enjoy the years ...then you'll find your inner peace

So if ever my life ends today, one thing sure I made a little dent
For loving and appreciating life is the price we pay for the rent
Of the space, the time we're allotted, on this world we call Earth
I placed my life unto God's Hands and now I know what it meant

To live in the present, enjoy memories but worry not of tomorrow
Love your wife, love your kids, and be loved there'll be no sorrow
For Heaven is within you - faith, love, happiness, and soul serenity
Even if life ends today ...you'll left behind good memories, a legacy
