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!
