What Do You Think?
Poem
You may think I do not mourn you
You may think I do not care
You may think it doesn't matter
When I reach and you're not there.
-
You may think that it is easy
You may think that I am fine
You may think I'm past regret
When our connection you decline.
-
You may think that I've forgotten
You may think my love is gone
You may think it won't impact you
When my time on earth is gone.
-
You may think you do not mourn me
You may think you do not care.
You may think that it won't matter
When you reach and I'm not there
-
-
Maybe you'll be right.

We All Must Go
My heart is heavy, but I cannot cry. And though I know we all must die; I still find myself asking why. Life comes and life goes, death comes for us all young and old. It doesn't matter who you are, rich, poor, healthy, or not, we all must go; no need for shock
