I wonder how long I'm gonna live? <br />How long my life is going to be? <br />Will I suffer when I'm going out? <br />I wonder what the end for me will be? <br /> <br />I've used more than seventy five percent of life <br />I'm in my sixties now ya know? <br />And I've really been thinking about some things <br />like just how I'm going to go. <br /> <br />Don't mean to sound morbid <br />But it is just a fact of life. <br />When your getting up there in your years <br />you start to feel deaths fear and plight. <br /> <br />You start to listen to your heart beats <br />wondering just when or if they're gonna, 'STOP! ' <br />Or if something in your head or body <br />is finally gonna to, 'POP! ' <br /> <br />So if one day you notice I'm not posting <br />all of the poems that I once did. <br />You will know that something happened <br />and that I had loved the life I lived!<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-wonder-how-long-i-will-live/
