No Regrets, Just Sunsets

No Regrets, Just Sunsets

If there was no tomorrow,

I would want to know that I didn't leave every stone unturned.

I would want to know I made amends,

forgave, and was forgiven.

I would want to know I was charitable,

that I gave to those in need, not just things, even my time.

I would want to know that I had fun,

was reckless, yet safe, and enjoyed myself.

I would want to know I was affectionate,

loved by others, loved others, and loved myself.

I would want to know that I was respected,

that I respected others and they respected me.

I would want to know that people found me funny,

that I was able to make someone laugh.

I would want to know that I dealt with my emotions,

that I laughed, cried, and smiled

I would want to know that I took opportunity that came my way,

Small and big opportunities.

I would want to know that I conquered,

struggles, hurdles,

I would want to know I accomplished,

every goal I set.

I would to know that I did everything I could to live my life to the fullest.

If there was no tomorrow,

I would want to be remembered for who I am, not what I am.

If there was no tomorrow,

I wouldn't want any regrets.

Because as the sun sets, I know I have done everything I can throughout my journey.

I think sunsets have a lot of symbolism which is why I chose it for this poem,

because they are so beautiful and powerful.
