Just Passing Through

Just Passing Through

I am just passing through this life. I try not to get too 
attached to anyone, so I won't suffer, if they decide to 
part. 

If I have ilussions - I don't tell anyone If sad - I keep 
it to myself. Everyone has their own problems, they don't
need to add more.

We have to enjoy life while we can, because it's short and
when it's gone - we don't get a second chance.

Yesterday is in the past. Tomorrow is the future that we 
might not get to see. Today is a gift - that is why it is called
the present.

We have to live this moment, because it will never come 
back. we are just passing through this life. Don't ever
forget that...

Robert Pettit January 20, 2014 at 1:34 AM Great words of wisdom here. Just correct the double negative you have in the first line of your second verse. It should read "...-I don't tell anyone.".....

Richard Lamoureux January 19, 2014 at 10:11 PM Do not fear the attachments, let them be strong and deep. Fear of loss robs us of our now.

Demetrios Trifiatis January 16, 2014 at 6:47 PM Dearest Lucy, we are all passing through, NO exceptions! Only the Lord knows when our fleeting dream ends! However, certain I am you are going to be with us for a long time! No problems of a friend can be disregarded because of one's own problems, for when someone cares for his friend, he always has time to listen and to care! Your writing is deep, beautiful and real! God bless you!
