Author's note- I am working on a book at my house (it is not my independent novel, just one I'm reading for fun)  and it is called Antsy does time.  It is where a teenager named Gunner is told where he has only 8 months to live, and people are donating part of their lives to Gunner so he can live longer.  It is a humorous book and the disease isn't really real, but trouble is bound, because these kids are trading their lives away for little things like soda pops and candy bars and such.  


What if,


What if someone told you,
You had two more weeks to live,

What if sanity took it's course,
And sent you straight to bed,

What if the angels began to sing,
High above the sky,

What if time old lovers,
Came back to say goodbye,

What if you kept it really secret,
And then one day just died,

What if all you family members,
Sat all day and cried,

What if all you could do,
Was wait until the end,

What if you sat around all day,
and cried for what you couldn't try

What If nobody really cared,
Your death wasn't even a scare.

What if I was at your side,
The unfortunate day you died,

What If someone told you,
You only had 2 more weeks to live,
Would you remember me?

  1. This poem is really strong. I love how it repeats "What if". The parts that rhyme in here are really strong too. The authors note is really helpful because it clears up all the questions anyone could have.
