Waking Up Dead <br /> <br /> Tomorrow morning when you wake up<br /> You might very well be dead, so to say <br /> Now that is what the wife said to me<br /> When we were conversing about my health today<br /> <br /> It took a while for it to sink in<br /> For at my age I am slow to respond<br /> But thinking about it in retrospect now<br /> I see it is really an oxymoron<br /> <br /> But anyway I know what she meant<br /> So that is the important thing here<br /> She meant to look after ones health<br /> And that to me is now quite clear<br /> <br /> So that I will do so to catch on early<br /> And not be forever left behind<br /> For it is important not to let<br /> Myself reach that very sad state of mind<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br /> <br />   Submitted By: John Cornick
