Evaluation
Are we too busy thinking of tomorrow?
Trying to stay two steps ahead in the game
That we forget to cherish here and now
Remember to live today.
I can honestly say I am guilty.
I admit I am constantly planning for the future
Sometimes I don’t enjoy moments as much as I could
Due to wondering what is next in line.
Maybe when I’m old and grey (hopefully) and looking back
That I realise I did alright. I really didn’t do bad
A lot of experience in my life
But what if it’s only then, when I’m reminiscing
That I am smiling because of my past
What about when I’m living it?
Instead of always fretting, if everything is the right move
Shouldn’t I enjoy it when it’s happening?
Try to make the most of the moment
As a cliché as it is to say
To live each and every day.
Love it for what it is, rather than thinking of tomorrow
Because we never know what tomorrow holds
What will be around the corner,
And it’s best to do something
Than regret not doing it at all.
Isn’t life at the end of the day
For living, not just for existing
Not for always assuming, contemplating of what’s ahead
As life can be exhilarating.
So I am determined, to go out and really do some living!
