Poem: Do Not Be Complacent With Your Life ...
Do not be complacent with your life
And waste it on what-ifs
Do not wish your days away
And live outside your bliss.
Your youthful looks will fade away
Your careers will come and go
Your memories will dissipate
With all their highs and lows.
The sands of time falls faithfully
And soon we too shall pass
We’ll leave a trace upon the wind
But even that won’t last.
We remain in the hearts of others
On every life we touch
So live life to the fullest
And don’t doubt yourself so much.
Tell those close to you, you love them
Show them how much you care
Drop your guard, be vulnerable
Open up and share.
Savor all of this miraculous life
In gratitude and wonder
Know you are perfect just as you are
Too precious a gift to squander.
