&ldquo;When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down &lsquo;happy&rsquo;. They told me I didn&rsquo;t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn&rsquo;t understand life.&rdquo; <br /> ― John Lennon

Someday I know that they day will come,
When time cuts me short and I won't be here
To say I'm sorry or I love you or I forgive you.
This scares me and I know it scares you just the same.
This moment could sneak up at any time,
Maybe in a month or a year,
But hopefully much later than that.
Although I can't affect these things,
I'd like to put in this one request:
Please God,
Whenever you should take me,
Wherever or however,
Grant me this one luxury,
This one comfort,
This one satisfaction;
Let it be in her arms.
