Do Over

I am getting closer every day. Closer to the time my lord calls me away. I wish I had made better use of my stay. When you are young, it feels like you will never be old. Then, one day before you know it… being old has crept upon you here. Sometimes it feels like you were never young. In the end, some people have no regrets but me…my life is full of them. I wish I could have a do-over knowing then what I know now. Wishing this was possible oh somehow. I would tell myself to make better use of my time…you have precious little of it. Don’t forget to be kind. Don’t put off for tomorrow what you can do today. Tell the people you love, that you do every day and, remember to include yourself in doing this. Be thankful, happy, and, don't forget how to play. Don’t waste time telling lies. Be forgiving. Charitable, and exercise. Make most meals healthy ones. Be supportive to others and, always live your life as a passionate one. Try to always be teaching some while learning from others. Put god, family, and country in that order. realize when you are young credit is important so keep it always in good standing. Don’t smoke cigarettes, drink too much or take unnecessary drugs. Say please, and thank can I get an amen. If I could do it over again I would make sure I was ready at The End.
