Chance of a Lifetime

I will learn to live before i die..
I will learn to love and learn to try..
I will learn to risk and dream...
I will learn to share and to care...

I will bring out the best from anyone.. 
I will render also the best in me...
I will not wait a lifetime to show..
For if i will wait, i might lose long...

Seconds, minutes, hours and days counts...
Less be bothered by saving accounts..
As no coins or bills may amount..
To a true love that is the paramount...

We don't live twice, only once..
Careful and make it a blockbuster chance...
Avoid and don't be misled by trance..
Rather, gracefully lovingly accept life's dance...

I will learn to learn many other things, and in my continued years, allow my heart to sing. Every day is the chance of a lifetime, to live as best you can. And when my time has come, I've lived who I am. I love this poem Olive, James :)

I sure hope you write more, and more, and I'll continue to read. But I also want to write more with you, James :)
