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

What if you had just ten more days?
