Reflecting On Things That Haven'T Begun

Someday, we all will be ancient, 
So That's why i'm always anxious 
to simply live life! 
The cameras forever rolling, 

(You don't live twice!)
You can get your yours, and I can get mine! 

You can't ever beat life at a staring contest 
But a sharing contest, to help each other out 

Love your neighbors like you love yourself 
above all else, Make sure that you have loved yourself!

     (and all's well!)

'Cause when the bell rings for the last time, 
And the birds sing for the last time 
Then you'll see your last light, the lights will flicker off 

But wherever I make my last stop; 
I just hope that when I go to sleep;
after that I blast off!! 

   ( life was but a dream!!)

Excellent write. : ) Right on with the "live life!" sentiment, it's not a rehearsal and honestly - who knows about any "afterlife." "You can't ever beat life at a staring contest" = great, great line.

You write eloquent my friend. We should love our neighbours as we love ourselves but love our self the more. We should do good in other to be in the right hand of the mighty. YES, life is but a dream.

You! You write so wonderful, you know I am a fan of your poetry? This one is not only inspirational, you could also put it on stage, as Poetry Slam or something like it. It's that sort of poetry. I can hear it out loud :)
