By Johnny John
My eyes blinked open
My day
Fuzzy first light and thoughts
Begin their crave
My senses slowly filled
As I get born today
A lifetime to be lived
In a day
Before my eyes quiver
And shut away
All I thought I controlled
Now dead to me again
That lifetime passed in a blink
Of a day
A hundred thousand heartbeats
Kept me in life’s fray
As I drank from life’s well, did I give back
Enough, its cost to defray
And get to taste life’s elixir another day
My eyes grow heavy after work
And play
Thoughts of the senseless things I did
Fades away
While that of a warm smile received
In my mind plays
As my senses die, I faintly wonder
Was mine a good life, today
