I lost my sister with cancer, as I watched her facing death, I learned how I want to live.
If today is my last day to live,
If I have today only,
I would be thankful for
that I have this day.

I would think of everyone I know,
I would deeply thank them for
who they are to me.

I would still do
what I must do for today,
never put off anything for tomorrow,
when tomorrow comes,
it will always be today,
Tomorrow never comes.

I would look at everything I see,as for the last time,
treasure them,
soak in all the beauties around us,
This earth I walked on
I would imprint in all my memories,


I would listen intensely,
with whoever I talk with,
understand every word we shared
because that very moment will never come again.

I would forgive everyone
who done me wrong
after all,
it was my judgement any way,
I will request and pray
for my forgiveness
for others who I may have hurt,
Its a must,

I would make sure
I will tell everyone that I care about
" I love you " so surely.

I would disburse my possessions
to who ever needs them.
I will only keep very minimum
Keep less,
Simplifying my surroundings,
would be my goal for today
at least I have today to do it.

I would want to make sure to drop my desires,
it all belongs to far away future any way,

I was holding on for years,
there is no use for me any more

I would be carefully watch if anything I am still clinging to,
The less the attachments,
the less I would be burdened.

So I would be much lighter to take my flight
Knowing any time can be the right time
Just being ready for this day could be the last day,
any day could be as the last day.
I made my peace with my own heart,
I can live my life fully each day,
without fear of death we all going to experience one day
