He learned only today
Two weeks left to live
Cried a hundred tears
Found some unmet fears

Realized as the sun was setting
A half a day wasted
In the misery of loss
As yet unrealized

Rose quickly from his morass
Chose to live in joy and bliss

Treasuring the view
Of the bird on his windowsill

Singing a new song
An everlasting song
In a captured moment
