Never

Never to see the sun rise or see a sun set
To touch and feel someone you love; is the very best.
Never to hear laughter or the chatter of a child
To end your life; is it that bad or only mild?

Never to taste nor drink the fruits of life
To miss children, my friends, and also my wife.
Never to feel rain, snow or the warmth of the sun
To miss the good things in life; that are so much fun.

Never to have a thought, an idea, or things from the mind
To miss companionship and friends that were ever so kind.
Never to hear music so pleasing to the ear
To miss singing and dancing and that which we hold dear.

Never to walk or run along the sand or under the trees
To miss the birds, the flowers and also the bees.
Never to see the different colors of earth and sky
To miss others whom we love including the elusive I.

Never to touch or see the animals whom you do love
To miss the domestic and the wild and also the dove.
Never to hope and dream of a perfect life song
To miss those whom you will always belong.

Is your life so futile and filled with pain
That you would deny myself one more day to live again?
Wait one more tomorrow before deciding on death
Do not deny yourself of life's precious breath.

What appears to be impossible today or even tonight
Ask and you shall receive tomorrow with another sight.
No one said it would be easy and always without pain
Don't throw the gift away for it may never be given again.
