Today…
If the world ends today this is what I hope…
You will be busy with your Christmas shopping, card writing, cookie baking
You will be nodding to someone in the street as you go to mail a package
You will be smiling at your neighbor in line at the local country store
You will be heading off to pick a loved one up at the airport, your daughter at daycare, your husband at work
You will be setting down your knitting, chatting over tea, eating a sandwich, grading that last final.
If the world ends today I hope you are out walking your dog, singing a carol,
Taking in the sunshine, sloshing through the snow, shaking your head at the latest headline,
waiting for the school bus, eating a chocolate chip cookie, crossing something off your list.
If the world ends today I hope you are at the hairdresser, the office, or putting on a pair of socks.
In other words, I hope the moment goes unnoticed, just another tick of the clock.
I hope if the world ends today you will be too busy living to notice.
