Live In the Moment

You can’t own it
but you can use it
You can spend it
but you can’t keep it

Once you’ve lost it,
You can never get it back
Like a lightning bolt,
Your heart will blow
We only have a short period to live

Mistakes are bound to happen, yet 
Everything is a lesson in disguise
There’s always still a chance for us
A spark in us
To reach out for the light
And let it shine

Savouring life’s little pleasures
Let your dreams be bigger
than your fears  
And live life with no regrets
