Before I Decay
Before I decay,
I must fall in love.
I must be caught.
I must be loved back.
Before I decay,
I must love my children.
I must watch them love.
I must watch them grow.
Before I decay,
I must love my grandchildren.
I must watch them laugh,
I must watch them live.
Before I decay,
I must live,
I must laugh,
I must love.
Before I decay,
I live.
I laugh.
I cry.
I hurt.
I love.
