Reality of Life

So many things happen in life,
Events beyond control,
Life is like a vapor
One second its here, the next it is gone.

Nobody wants to leave,
Yet we want an afterlife
It is but inevitable
One day we will surely go.

Events are planned ahead
Happenings will sure take place
It is not something new,
But the planner may not be there.

He was here in a moment
His presence was even felt.
But just like a dream,
He may be here no more.

Enjoy it while it lasts
Savor it while you are here
What you have got today,
Tomorrow might be gone.
