Give Forgiveness

   He said "I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before me, when a moment came that stop me on a dime.   I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays. Talking bout’ the options and talking bout’ sweet time."   I asked him, "When it sank in, that this might really be the real end, how’s hit ya’ when you get that kind of news?  Man what'd ya do?"  And he said:

"I went skydiving, I went rocky mountain climbing, I went two point seven seconds on a bull name Fu Man Chu. And I loved deeper, and I spoke sweeter, and I gave forgiveness I’d been denyin’." And he said "Some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dyin'."

He said "I was finally the husband, that most the time I wasn’t. And I became the kind of friend that a friend would like to have.  And all a sudden, goin’ fishin wasn't such an imposition, and I went three times that year I lost my dad. Well I finally read the Good Book, and took a good long hard look at what I would do if I could do it all again. And then...

"I went skydiving, I went rocky mountain climbing, I went two point seven seconds on a bull name Fu Man Chu. And I loved deeper, and I spoke sweeter, and I gave forgiveness I’d been denyin’." And he said "Some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dyin'."

"Like tomorrow was a gift, and ya got eternity to think about what to do with it, what could you do with it, what did I do with it..."

What would I do with it?

"Skydiving, rocky mountain climbing, two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.  And man I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter, nd I watched an eagle as it was flyin'."
And he said "Some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dyin'."
