A PIECE OF ADVICE
A piece of advice, I offer you with care,
Live life, don't let it vanish in thin air.
Don't spend your precious moments, all in vain,
Just working, toiling, enduring endless pain.
For in a heartbeat, they can let you go,
Replace your efforts, watch your spirit slow.
Instead, go travel, see the world unfold,
The vibrant cultures, stories yet untold.
Explore the mountains, kiss the ocean breeze,
Discover nature's breathtaking tapestries.
And most of all, let love be your guiding light,
Tell those you cherish, morning, noon, and night.
Spend precious moments, laughter in the air,
With those you hold dear, show how much you care.
For time, it marches onward, ever fast,
And before you know it, youth will be surpassed.
You too will find, the silver in your hair,
The gentle wisdom, of a life well-spent with care.
So heed this counsel, let it be your guide,
Live life, embrace it, with nothing left to hide.
