- Do Not Wait Until Tomorrow -

Live now Live life today, don`t wait until tomorrow Life lends us only for a short time, live it today Live today, life is today Life offers many experiences and opportunities, large and small Do not let the day turn into night Life goes too fast, make sure you get everything done Live today, play and learn Live so that you know the happiness in your heart Do not live a life you will regret, you only get one chance Life is to be shared with all those you loved If you dare... life can be a happy journey Live life today, don`t wait until tomorrow *10.01.12 - I wrote this poem when my mother (75) died 17 june 2011 A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved (5th in the contest)
