In life

In life
there is never
a guarantee,
we live day to day,
doing the best we can,
never knowing
what tomorrow may bring.

Sometimes we wonder
and worry about
what's in store for us,
but in worrying
about tomorrow
we forget today.

And if we forget today,
we forget to live.

So we must remember
to take a step back
and open our eyes,
that is when we will see
the beauty around us,
and all that life
has to offer
today.

But
at the same time
we mustn't forget
yesterday,
for yesterday made us
who we are today,
but if we dwell
on yesterday
it will keep us
from becoming
who we are
meant to be
in life.

So live for the moment,
smile in the sunshine,
dance beneath the moon,
kiss the summer breeze,
but most of all
embrace life,
be free,
today.
