Hi Soupers, I was thinking about how fast the days go by ( it's almost a new year)and I the phrase 24 hrs popped in my head. From that phrase I was inspired to write a poem with the same title:-) Alexis

Last night I had a long and restless night, I couldn't sleep, I tried with all my might. I couldn't get the “ phrase 24 hrs out of my head, so next thing you know I stumbled out of my bed. And I began to think about my life and all that I had done, I thought about my many failures and victories I had won. But I thought about having only 24 hrs left, would I be selfish and only think about self Yes, I have to make my wrongs right, strive to love and not give up the fight. I will try my best to be the version of me and forgive others and let bygones flee. I have no time to hold a grudge or sit around and misjudge. I just want to live my very best life and let go of misery and strife. Spend valuable time with my precious babies, forget about the should have beens and maybes. Our time on earth goes by extremely fast, so with my 24 hrs I will strive to have a blast. Alexis Y. 10-26-18
