To live ....to die
To live to die
It’s sad and so sad
that I recollect the accident I had
I was dead for five minutes
how I returned heaven knows
God was well within....
twas written
and
many years have lapsed
I still live
and
tell each one
Live today
as if you will die the next day
and in yourself believe
as you learn not to grieve
for long you may live still.....

''Live today
as if you will die the next day''
This reminded me of 2 verses very much linked to my religion.
''Pray as if you will die the next day'' and '' Strive as if you are going to live a thousand years more.'' At a glance, they may seem to contradict each other but the first one refers to one's faith as in doing good deeds and praying. The second refers to how one live one's life here as in being hardworking so that one can have a good life. Being a man of faith does not mean throwing away the needs for the material world but to form a balance for one's spiritual and worldly needs. I love this piece very much, especially the ending. It's superb!
