Live you like you were dying

Description

He said "I was finally the husband,
"That most the time I wasn’t.
"An' I became a friend a friend would like to have.
"And all of a sudden goin' fishin’,
"Wasn’t such an imposition,
"And I went three times that year I lost my Dad.
"Well, I finally read the Good Book,
"And I took a good long hard look,
"At what I'd do if I could do it all again,
"And then:

"I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."

Like tomorrow was a gift,
And you got eternity,
To think about what you’d do with it.
An' what did you do with it?
An' what can I do with it?
An' what would I do with it?

I dedicated this picture to my best friend. he passed away last month from complications from HIV. He always loved this place. We used to picnic here all this time. This was my favorite out of all the photos I took that night. This was his favorite song I used it for the title

I'm so sorry you have lost a best friend. What wonderful words to live your life by. You're lucky to have such a beautiful place where you shared great times to go to. Really beautiful shot made more meaningful by the context. Thanks for sharing it.
