What if I lose it all?
If I have accomplished this
...in remembrance of Jessica who was buried on Mother's Day, 2000
Did I Try In every way..
tomorrow never comes?
What If?
What if I should awaken tomorrow
and everything I worked so hard for is gone?
What will I have?
What will I be?
Without the reward for my efforts.
Is that why I did it?
Is that why I toiled and spun and wept?
I need to think about that
I hope that I am more than my accomplishments
or even my hopes and dreams
I pray that when everything is swept away
and when I lie empty and alone
Like a shell on the beach
which hauntingly echos the surging tide
having no heartbeat or life of its own
that somewhere, somehow,
I go on...
When everything I have is gone
and when I fall closely, silently behind
I pray that there remains
in someone's beating heart
remembrance of me
which hauntingly echoes his own hopes and dreams
I shall forever remain
What if
