Notes About The Poem

live for today

and what you don't know
can hurt you
time is fleeting
time is fickle
one moment everything is wonderful
the next the sky is falling

nothing is given nothing is free
we can't take life for granted
tomorrow is not guaranteed
all we ever have is today

Words of wisdom. The moment is all we possess -- and then it's gone!
