Sonnet

No Day Is Guaranteed by Brooke Samerson
So many people die in just one day.
You thought that it’d be like that forever.
Like water in your hand, they slip away.
You’re shaken and stirred, like a swift tremor.

A lot of people do not love their lives.
They think that every day is guaranteed.
They don’t worry they’ll lose a friend, a wife.
It’s no wonder few think about their deeds.

Who would’ve thought their father would die?
They didn’t think Mom could never come home.
Death seems so distant, it seems like a lie.
They do not think they’ll ever be alone.

That is why I try to embrace each day.
‘Cause who knows when it’ll be taken away?
