Dream Poem

Live each day to the fullest

© Amy D. Liskey

Sitting on the steps, looking across the lake,
Wondering why, life at times, can seem great.
But in that second, it took me to just think,
My life could change, faster than a blink.

Is this a reason why we should always cherish?
Not knowing when loved ones may suddenly perish.
Living everyday, like it was our very last,
for our days could be very long or go by very fast

So I'll cherish and take nothing for granted,
not say things that shouldn't be chanted.
If this is the last day I have on this earth,
I accept my life, for what it's been worth.

Tomorrow isn't promised to young or old alike,
Today may be the last day I'm able to hold you tight.
Don't wait for tomorrow, do it all today,
If tomorrow never comes, you'll never regret a day

I really like this poem because I love the message and I feel like I forget this in my own life so much. Life is way too short to be anything but happy and every second you spend stressed or worried is a second that you could have been happy. The whole point is that we dont know how much longer we have or when we will die. Life goes by in the blink of an eye. I never want to look back and regret things I did...or didn't do. It's basically saying to count your blessings and live each day to the fullest... because you never know what tomorrow will bring. :)
