We’ll All die

by Shahryar Eskandari Zanjani

November 28, 2023

I woke up today a day closer
To the day I die
And everyone I hold dear similarly neared
Their certain demise
So I put a little more love into all my hi’s, love you (too)s, and goodbyes
A little more humility into all my handshakes
And a little more kindness into all my interactions
In case, alas, they may be my last.

I woke up today another day closer
To the day I die
And everyone I hold dear similarly neared
Their certain demise
So I put even more love into all my hi’s, love you (too)s, and goodbyes
More Humility into all my handshakes
And more kindness into all my interactions
In case, alas, they may be their last.

I woke today yet another day closer
To the day I die
And everyone I hold dear similarly neared
Their certain demise
So I put yet more love into all my hi’s, love you (too)s, and goodbyes
Much more humility into all my handshakes
And a lot more kindness into all my interactions
In case, alas, they may be our last…
