Live For Today

Life is to short to worry, 
about the things we can not change; 
To dwell upon the future, 
and the things that are out of range. 
Life is precious in the sense, 
that we are given the gift of today; 
Let us cherish every moment, 
both in deeds and what we say. 
For tomorrow is not certain, 
and yesterdays already past; 
All we have is today, 
don't let it slip from your grasp. 
With each breath that we take, 
and with each passing hour; 
Lets live our life to the fullest, 
Lets do all that is in our power; 
So that when we've taken our last breath, 
and finally from this world are set free; 
We can look back with no regrets, 
and be truly happy.
