Intervals

Intervals

We live our life,
one foot in the grave.
There are many dangers 
please try to be brave.

Fear dwells in the shadows, 
proceed with care.
Live life to the fullest,
but only if you dare.

All life on Earth, 
will one day perish.
Focus on today,
each moment please cherish.

Yesterday has passed,
tomorrow may not arrive.
Today is right now,
Live like you’re alive.
