Suppose
Suppose I heard in the ageless wind
A voice that called my name,
Saying I could make a difference
With the time that still remains.
Suppose because of disbelief
These words I did not heed,
Then when my time had ended
I'd leave a world still full of need.
Suppose instead I listened,
Embracing every word,
And spending all my talents,
Till the wind you also heard.
Suppose you walked beside me,
A common goal now shared,
And know that all our efforts
Left a world that better fared.
