Death suddenly came to my mind recently. The tragic crash of the Ethiopian airways plane struck a cord within me. This was followed up by news that a boy from the university I attend was found dead in his room.
It got me thinking about how carelessly I regard my life. I wake up and go about my day completely oblivious to the fact that life
is a miracle within itself. I am experiencing somethin many have fallen from experiencing.
Those people in that plane did not know it was their last trip and likewise I do not know if this will be my last blog post before I die😅😅.We must live our lives in gratitude people!! In happiness and sadness.
Here’s a small piece to remind us of this:
I breathe carelessly it’s source is endless they say,
But my pulse has an expiry date.
One day my heart will tire and not even my gasps for air will rouse it again.
Maybe I should remember this. Everyday I live is a battle won.
Every time I wake death misses her target.
When I smile, life has fed me
But even when I cry life has held me.
