Oh, Life

I would laugh
 if I weren't crying.
Life moves too quickly passed
 every step taking us to dying.

In the moment then
 is when I stop to say when
do we truly live our lives
 escaping our own disguise?

Step right, step left, you're not dead,
 bravely move forward and ahead
after all that happens each and every day
 you still have time to play.

- We have time for what we want ... the day still has 24 hours ... "everyone" says "does not have time" ... but we must prioritize :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
