If death invites you tomorrow

If death invites you tomorrow
Would you leave beside your expensive clothes, riches and luxuries? 
If death invites you tomorrow
Would you not leave behind your loved ones? 
If death invites you tomorrow
Would you shed your pride, name and fame? 
If death invites you tomorrow
What about your vacation plans? 
If death invites you tomorrow
What about your looks and appearances? 
We are nothing in this world once we fade away. 
Focus on living humanely to convey. 
Stop worrying about things to eat, wear and please others.
Prepare self to meet the maker and enter his marvelous gates. 
Cast a spell that would leave your imprints in people's hearts and minds. 
Spare some time and money in caring for the confined before you walk with the winds. 
 Let's do the best possible to build hopes that surround. 
Before we sow deep in the ground.
