If This Were My Last Day

A question, asked for pleasure
To unnerve the restless mind
A choice given, hard to measure
On your last living day to find

If this were my very last day
Would I do things I did not?
Would I look at sun’s ray?
Would I act or be lost in thought?

If this were my very last day
Would I begin to again learn?
Would I find anything to say?
Would a known end be a turn?

If this were my very last day
Would I wallow in pleasure?
Would it keep my fear at bay?
Would I give in to pressure?

If this were my very last day
Would I be any more different?
Would I turn to God to pray?
Would I be a victim of sentiment?

If this were my very last day
Would I smile or be in tears?
Would I be firm or give away?
Would I lose in dilemmas, fierce?

If this were my very last day
Would it bring a love, new?
An unknown truth on the way?
Would it give me what is due?

Perfect as human in every way
I live as long as time can shiver
Is there in reality, a last day?
With love and faith, immortal forever
