dont resent too much

Friend, do not ressasse your dark ideas, Death will come Whatever you do, Everyone owes it, Don’t resent Your appointments At the doctor’s, He doesn’t even think about it, Under the palm trees Draw in the sand The heart of a girl, Think of the turtle Who lives peacefully, Do not complain of your misfortunes, Nor your thoughts, Don’t resent Love is like a sprig of lavender, Feel it hunting Your dark thoughts. Don’t think about it. Tomorrow does not exist.

Existing in the negative.?? A time slot in waiting Unmade opportunitys.' We conject with impunity Wiling of continuity.'

Just letting things be. Some great little thoughts on this one. What was that last word on line one? Ressasse? Need to look that up

I like this one, Yann. I agree we do not have any guarantees of a tomorrow and can only live in the moment so why waste it on something negative. Thanks for sharing this one. Sara K

My doctor examined me and said: Well you're 84 now. Yesterday is history, tomorrow we don't know when. It's today that counts.

i know the problem victor, diabetes makes doctors so close and intrusive, hope your docteur is nice

Dear Yaan, you have put it so right. Death is a sure reality and our life is so short, too short to be wasted in regrets and resentments. Enjoy, while one can. Wish you happy tomorrows, dear friend.

Keep it all in perspective. Remember the doctors are just practicing, so we must practice to bend and stretch, hold onto those sprigs of lavender when they’re in our grasp! Passez une bonne soirée!
