Before I'm Gone

Days are so quickly done
And I've still much to do.
The end may be far off
Or just a breath away.
My list is very long:
Things I've dreamed of doing,
Places and wonders to be seen.
So many words are waiting
To be written down.
I need more time to love
The people in my life
And those I've yet to meet.
I feel a sense of urgency
To keep moving on,
As I check things off
My ever growing list.
Days move more swiftly
I've still so much to do
Before I'm gone.
