James Babbs- A Poem

This Could Be My Last Poem

it’s true
none of us
can ever really know
when our time’s
finally going to come
this could be my last poem
these could be
the last words
I will ever write
maybe
I should ask forgiveness
for some of the things I’ve done
but it’s probably too late
and it wouldn’t make
any difference now
the sun warm on my face
there’s a good breeze around
and this could be my last poem
these could be
the last words
I will ever write
maybe
I should say thanks
to all the people
who helped me along the way
I’ve forgotten some of them
but they know who they are
so this could be my last poem
these could be
the last words
I will ever write
I guess
I should try to
say something important
before I get up
and walk around the yard
something profound like
life has no meaning
so good luck
have fun
so long
