Life Is Too Short

Sometimes…
There are events in our lives
That wakes us up
And slaps us in the face
To the facts…
That life is too short
And death so abrupt
Like losing a loved one
Or a spouse in a wreck
That any second chances
Is something we should want to respect?
And live life to its fullest
To forgive and to forget
Is the best lesson I’ve learned
Out of this life yet
