Life Is But a Day Fragile

Despite of what's done In spite of what's unsaid We forgive We move on We just don't forget...it relive They say time will heal an open wound But can it eradicate the scars Doubtful yet hopeful Nonetheless life goes on We live in a vast pace world Where life is but a day fragile Perhaps letting go of what's gone And value what still remains Because regardless of what's said and done We have but today To love truly and laugh uncontrollably share the moment Life is (us) you and me We make memories No rules for happiness We just need to glide and ride the journey Let yesterday go Make today precious Pray for tomorrow's chance That love will heal its broken piece and everything will mend as it once was...To love perchance to live happily Respect... Life is but a day fragile Smile! Akkina R Downing

To forgive is easy for me but to forget is difficult. I love the depth of this write really! Such wisdom and profound truth youve delivered in sheer eloquence; I especially loved the opening. And yes you are right regardless of whats been said and done we have today, and letting go is the best way to move on as love eventually heals, such a touching write

The trials of today will be forgotten by tomorrow. When love has lost it's way, it leaves behind it's sorrow. Love the poem, Akkina:) Very positive!

The message in this poem resonated with me. I definitely agree that mistakes were not forgotten and wounds could still leave visible scars in the mind. But it also changed us in ways we don't foresee ourselves. The leftover scars can either break us or make us better people. RESPECT is one way, DISCIPLINE is another key to train oneself to be constantly mindful
