What a strange life one must lead <br />Heading towards our destruction <br />We are born to die <br />But first we must survive <br /> <br />Someone has planned that at a point in our lives <br />We will decide to destruct <br />Nothing will equal that time <br />For that will be our climax <br /> <br />Everything we feel is perfect <br />Though its not as perfect <br />As the time we reach our destiny <br /> <br />What strange happenings will befall us all <br />Before our final performance? <br />How many times will we conclude <br />That nothing can be as great as this? <br /> <br />Try as we will the conclusion <br />Will be the best performance of our lives <br />For within us all <br />Is the desire to leave the world dramatically. <br /> <br />We all must leave our mark <br />Be it only that we have lived <br />It is a mark <br /> <br />Before I go I want to say <br />Thankyou for letting me go this way <br />Don’t tell me when I must go <br />For I know when my final performance will be. <br /> <br />Prepare me to judge as I will be judged <br />So that I can know when and how to help <br />Make it hard to understand <br />So that my feelings will be my guide.<br /><br />Alison Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/destiny-40/
