Our Life, Our Lives



As our lives swiftly pass us by day after day
We feel we have time and we can get to “that” later.
But we may not be around to sincerely do or say
What we were destined to accomplish by our Creator

Stop for an instant and reflect your options in life
Appreciate every day as if it were your last
Love those around you and know how important they are
Rejoice and be happy of all the beautiful moments in the past

Every remarkable moment is a marvelous footprint
And we need to wonder where it is leading
For we are here in high spirits and cheerful spirit
With our hearts ever joyous and silently beating

We are here for a purpose and we must enjoy it
Be kind and be proud
Your path has been created and your steppingstone awaits
Life is precious jewel, revel in it
