a few seconds

The last few days I've been thinking about what I would say and who I would say it to, if I knew it would be the last words I ever spoke. Facing an impending doom of death would I cry out to someone? Would someone be physically there or would I be reaching for a phone? Who would I call? Would they even answer the phone? If I only had a few seconds, would I have something to say? Am I saying everything I need to say now while I am here and have the ability? Words unspoken. .... How much commitment does an unspoken word have? What is truly the meaning of an unspoken word?............ Back to a few seconds if that's all I had.... It would be worth every last breath, every struggled word, it would be the last words I would want to speak, to my daughter I would tell, how very much I loved her and always will....
