What Would You Do?

Written June 28, 2026 by Craig A. Plude

What would you do if you knew

You only had a day left to live?

Me, I would spend it in your arms

Tell you what I thought of you in my life.

Me, I would hold you and keep you precious to me

Knowing that my last thought, my last feeling, 

And my last heartbeat was thinking of you.

I would pray every second that I spent 

With you was precious to you.

And you would always remember who I was 

And how much you truly meant to me.

Through it all, I would know that my last

Breath was in your arms, in your

Heart and in your life was always love.

This is my last wish, my last

Thought, and my last dream.
