Time

If today was your last day here on earth,
Think about it for a minute or two.
Knowing you have limited time, what really matters to you?
Are there sites you've always wanted to see?
Are there things you would like to do?
Does everyone special in your world,
Know how much they mean to you?
Everything that's taken for granted
Is so precious, when you have limited time.
It's then you realize how briefly we are here.
Life passes by in the blink of an eye.
If tonight was the last sun you saw set?
And tomorrow's sunrise would never be seen.
Throughout your life would you have any regrets?
What would you change if given the opportunity?
There is still so much I'd like to accomplish.
There's no time to waste.
It's important to make every moment count.
You never know when today could be your last day...

This is true. If we lived every minute as if it was our last, we would be so kind the world would have peace!
