Such Simple Words MAG

By Anonymous

     We visitedveterans
in their rooms.
Bringing coffee
and a smile.

We talkedabout
anything they liked
and gave them
blueberry muffins

Weasked one
man how he liked
his coffee and
he told us black.

As wesaid good-bye,
he told us to come
Closer and he said this
in a hushedtone:

"Life is a gift.
You only go
around once.
Think aboutthat."

He shared such
simple words, but
with such a
powerfulmeaning.

As I remember that
day of serving
coffee and muffins,
Iremember.

I remember the man
who touched my heart.
And now Ican't
forget his words.
