I wander back to places I’ve been,
people I’ve met,
wonder why they’re part of
this one life I get.
It goes by fast,
this adventure is swift,
Every breath, every step,
every scene is a gift
Your days will end,
It’s not a race.
Slow down, breath,
Laugh, love and embrace.
I understanding,
why we’re here,
But, the lessons that come
are not always clear.
Candles of hope,
lit day-after-day,
the choices we make,
lighting our way.
Vistas to feast on,
new lives to hold,
Stories are written,
then rewritten and retold.
Keep your heart open,
your mind curious,
enjoy the dance,
don’t be so serious.
Kindness is key
Don’t hold a grudge,
What your neighbours doing,
is not yours to judge.
This path seems long
when we first arrive,
It’s not long at all,
I now realize.
Release the things
that tie you down
They won’t matter,
when you’re no longer around
So touch the ocean,
Kiss the sky,
Embrace this life
Before you die.
