I Will Live Forever
I woke up this morning.
It would be one of many
that will be the same
from this day on.
I will not die.
I will wake up each day
with the same wrinkles on my face,
with no more gray hairs on hy head,
with no weight loss or weight gain.
I will look exactly the same forevermore.
There will be no flowers at my funeral
for there will be no funeral,
no tears of sadness
or sympathetic mass cards,
no eulogy,
no words of remembrance.
There will only be
days on weeks on
years on decades
of life and joy,
anger and pain,
vengeance and forgiveness,
hate and love.
There will be nothing
I will not try.
I will travel the world
and see the sights,
climb the mountains,
sail the seven seas,
make snowballs in Antarctica.
Time will ample.
I will not fear death,
only boredom,
only sadness of
losing you from old age.
I woke up today with
all of time in my future.
