My heart sank.

I pictured it.

My deathbed.

I thought about it.

I paid attention to it.

My deathbed.

I considered it.

Contemplated.

My deathbed.

Reflected on who was there.

Examined the surroundings.

My deathbed.

Appraised the feelings.

Reviewed my life.

On my deathbed.

Studied my children's faces.

Mulled over my choices.

On my deathbed.

Pondered long lost pals.

Deliberated over shoulda-woulda-couldas.

On my deathbed.

Meditated on loving.

Ruminated over fearing.

On my deathbed.

Assessed my successes.

Evaluated my failures.

On my deathbed.

Judge.

Jury.

On my deathbed.

My heart rose.

Overwhelmed with connection.

On my deathbed.

Love.

Nothing but love.

On my deathbed.

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

On my deathbed.
