It is, What it is



I accept my fate, that tomorrow could be too late.
I don’t want to cause others sadness or sorrows, I hope to be here for many more tomorrows.
I’ll  do my best to stay my strongest, today is mine but tomorrow is not promised.
So I’ll live life to the fullest and make each count,  because it’s the quality of time not the amount.
