One-Time Visit
Written By: D. Collins 6/18/24
We get a one-time visit through ups and downs of life.
Some of them are good, and some cut like a knife.
But we still go through it, and somehow outlive it.
Jotting down good notes during our one-time visit.
We get one journey, regardless of what you've heard.
Anyone who's come back, I wouldn't take their word.
There are no offramps or street detours.
The flaws we acquired cannot be cured.
We only get one chance to trek through life.
During the one-time visit hope that you lived right.
Even in passing, we can always hold dear.
The mere fact we left something to prove we were here.
You can take my advice for whatever it is worth.......
It's only a brief moment we tread upon this earth.......
