Live To Be Timeless

They say that life is short With different lengths for everyone  Some are gone before they start living And some before they are done Some live for the day, Some live for the month Some live to be timeless, and second to none With a path on each side Motionless at a crossroads Not knowing which step Would lessen the load Do it tomorrow Leave it til later Put it off for now The stalling gets greater How can I live Without having regret And be content On the day I meet death Tomorrows troubles  Still far away Takes away my happiness And my smiles for today Some live for the day, Some live for the month Some live to be timeless, and second to none Plans that are large The height of one's dreams Could distance you from the now Then the now can't be seen The night follows the day As the day follows the night Try and live in each Of the moments in sight I may be taken tomorrow  My life could disappear Not afraid of tomorrow I'll handle it when it's here But today I'm alive And I've overcome my fears And I'll continue to seize each moment Every day of all my years Some live for the day, Some live for the month Some live to be timeless, and second to none
