Notes About The Poem

Every decision matters

Life is short but long enough
to make plans and make
some dreams come true

Life is kind and generous
it offers time for second chances
and even a string of redos

Life is short but in the end
you'll be liable for what you've done
but equally for what you didn't do

Use your time wisely ~

Pure wisdom here, Line. As the sages, from all stripes and colors say: Think of all the good/important things you could have been doing while you were wasting time... ~ Chief Sitting Butt

Oof, yeah. Life is often kind enough to give more chances than we deserve. So we're all the more culpable when we waste them. Thanks for writing this.

Very true, Vanya ~ best to take the matter seriously instead of cramming at the end
