A year from now

A voice announces

The asteroid will hit

Bringing the end


I stand there

As the news blares on the TV


A year from now

What will I have done?

Ran from time

Where the river runs blue

And the mountains tower

Where the time passes slowly

Hour by hour


A year from now

What will I have done ?

Spent time with loved ones

When it mattered the most

And time was short


Will I have prayed?

Will I have sung?

Will I have forgave?

Will I have had fun?


A year from now

What will I have done?

Crossed things off my bucket list one by one

Because a year from now next year will have gone
