Photo Finished: a poem

If we knew our date of death how different would be live?

Staring at a photograph 

from 15 years ago

I look at you.

*

Returning from a film

based on a murder

I think of the victim.

*

If we knew our date of death

how different would we live

savouring the moments?

*

I’d be more carefree

more relaxed

have more fun.

*

So, shall I pretend my date of death?

“Teach us to number our days”

I think now — I know how.

*

And so, I shall.

Imagine every minute of each day was valued at £1….each day you wake up you have £ 1,440.00 to spend….what would you do differently with this attitude- courtesy of moneypastor.co.uk
