Ten Days
What if you had just ten more days?
Who would you call
and what would you say
Could you erase a lifetime of hurt
and reverse a moment’s indiscretion
Could you make up for your failures
and forgive others for theirs
Could you break down your walls
and lay a new foundation
Could you peel away your mask
and present your true self
Could you think less about yourself
and more about the well-being of others
Could you open your heart
and accept your humanity
