Instead of Counting the Days, Make the Days Count
As we get older, we think more about our death
And how many days on this Earth we have to give.
We tend to think about how much time we have left,
All the while, thinking about the life we’ve lived.
We start to analyze the bad things from our past
And count the days until our life come to an end.
But don’t dwell on which day ahead will be your last.
There’s plenty of time left for you to make amends.
But we can’t do anything about days gone by.
Regrets are there and we all have our fair amount.
Don’t live out your days wondering why.
“Instead of counting the days, make each day count.”
Remember your life for the good things there have been
And for the wonderful family you have raised.
Keep close the memories of those who’ve become friends
And remember that you are always loved and praised.
*“Instead of counting the days, make the days count.”
*Quote by ?????? from tv commercial for Fairmount Assisted Living, Tucson, AZ
