Life Is a Gift

Life is a gift Given freely without a price tag and will be taken back freely of its expire date So why waste dwelling on the past When we know our time is unpredictable Why worry about what tomorrow may be When all we really know is TODAY and NOW Why not simply enjoy living the moment... Because- Life is short Time is fast So let yesterday be gone Live today as if it's your last day and love to the max... Afraid not to explore beyond your self comfort Life is an adventure So dare it Respect it Love it and Live it to its fullest... It's a blessing to wake up each morning So be grateful Be humble Fill your heart with love And live happily ever after...Amen! Written by Akkina R Downing 10/4/16
