Enjoy Life, We Only Get One Shot
We ascertain pleasure in reliving our past,
Though lurking matters often bankrupt our day;
For that portion of living in chronicles is cast,
This content can't change much to our dismay.
We justify retrieve as value to years emerging,
That beyond this day's history we will refrain.
Our subconscious is active with incessant urging,
For it realizes we shan't pass this way again.
Life, like a Maitre d', usually delivers what we order;
But unlike the meal we pay for life after we exit.
