Life.........

I'm sitting here thinking

of how fragile life is

how we unknowingly take the time we have for granted

and then suddenly

its gone, taken away.

i'm thinking

what if, today is the last day?

what if there is no tomorrow....

would there be many things that I still want to do

Places I want to see, people I want to meet

things i want to say........

there would be,

so much I still want to do

so many places I still want to see

people I want to meet/see again

unspoken words, unfulfilled dreams

Carpe Diem they say, seize the day

I don't think i have been seizing my days

I don't think many people have

we thread lightly and live too carefully

too worried about what others might feel or think

try to fit into the norm and blend into the sea of people

all held up by responsibilites, worries, and a so called life

How do we really seize the day?

I don't know....

does one say what they want to say

act as they please

can we actually live without putting ourselves in the confinements of the norm?

How does one be truly happy?

be able to go to their death bed with absolutely no regrets

and say i'm ready

my prayers go to you B
