Going Great

Officially dying, there’s still
A wide variance in your days,
Ranging from those when you wake up

Feeling death is, for sure, too close,
To days when you feel all is well—
Days when you feel life’s turned out well,

Which you shouldn’t, since you’re dying.
But those days (and hours and minutes)
Are in there, where you catch yourself

Pleased with your life in general,
And why not? It’s not as if those
Who aren’t officially dying

Won’t ever die. It gets summed up
Sooner or later. You’ve done well!
