Make Every Moment Count

Make every moment count... this is the promise I make to myself, to deny the certainty of death: an assumption stripped of all reality; and it daunts others, not me... as long as I get that glimpse of eternity! Be an essential part of the living: sharing, giving, reveling, grieving and forgiving... instead of rebelling against society, and fighting against an invisible adversary; but if your aspirations are the strenght of your goals everything takes on a new meaning, even making your story worth-telling! Make every moment count by being clever and not indignant; never live by pride and greed, or expect a bountiful return... when nothing is being achieved, and praise can't be earned! Be of a keen mind and love patiently... revive a broken spirit with the kindest word, and reduce your worries to nothing: and though the world's vanities cannot be changed, make an effort to have your voice heard; what is torn down sadly...can also be built up happily! Make every moment count and ignore the ticking of the clock, to let awareness guide you through anticipation; time is like roses with thorns: it pokes you and makes you bleed,and unless you show meekness and sympathy, it won't hit you low...but grant you victory!
