-Live In the Moment

Closer to the end of life than the beginning 
Days viewed differently 
Sayings that were once empty
Now hold validity ….

“Life is short”
Voiced now , speaks truth
Empty meaningless words 
Stated in youth…..

“Live each day like it’s your last”
Meant so little before
Becoming realistic now
Edging closer to heavens door

Senior years  “The age of appreciation “
Eyes weakened yet see much more
Aware of how precious time is
Living in the moment like never before!

Life a true blessing
A gift to treasure and cherish
To celebrate and receive fulfilment 
Never to squander and perish

Wisdom an acquisition of maturing
Perceptive to life’s true worth
Enlightened to the fortune
Of being granted this time on earth
