I have been wondering a lot why he included it on his glove. And not a long time ago I realized that maybe Allie included it after he found out that he had cancer. God, it's so depressing to think about it this way... But it's the only reasonable thing that comes to my mind. And even every line of the poem made me realize that. For example, the lines "What if life only lasted a day, Do you think we'd appreciate it better?" and "Why want another life? Your life is perfect already",make sense that if a person knows he's gonna die, he would appreciate life more and think about it more. And that's why I think that Allie included this poem on his mitt after founding out about his illness. I guess he just thought more about his opportunities in life and that he won't be able to use
