Empath's Last Poem

"Empath's Last Poem" is a poem written by Empath Smurf in the story "The Innocence Of A Smurf", intended to be recited by Poet Smurf in case Empath had died during the swim across the Pool of Souls on Redemption Day.

The poem goes like this:
 * I never knew what life was until somebody showed me,
 * How precious a gift it was to be given,
 * That every moment in life was meant to be lived
 * Until someone I knew was no more among the living.
 * Whatever life I knew, I tried to lived it
 * And give it meaning the best way I knew how.
 * But what I wouldn’t give to give back a life
 * To a one whose life isn’t lived right now.
 * I know not a whit of what tomorrow may be,
 * I know only what may come today.
 * And today I can only wish that life
 * That I took is the one that will ever stay.
 * But this is the thing that I cannot undo,
 * To erase this guilt in my memory.
 * I can only hope that when you think of life,
 * That you will never take it like me.
