A Wish

Shamsur Rahman

If I live for more than four decades
I'll be writing.
If I live for less than two decades
I'll be writing.
If I live for one more decade
I'll be writing.
If I live for two or four years
I'll be writing.
If I live for one more year
I'll be writing.
If I live for another month
I'll be writing.
If I live for one more day
I'll be writing.
