Time Is Precious

Im aware of my impermanence
This precious brief moment in time
Do I selfishly focus on me
Or do I share my harvest with mankind?
 
Should I tremble with fear
Perhaps distort the reality of it all
The struggle you know they say
Is more intense - just before the fall 
 
They say the presentation of life is always greater
Like the grass growing greener on the other side
I say life is always better
When what you think and say, coincides
 
I know my time is short
Therefore, all I can do is the best that I can do
Where I end up in this life
Is up to me, not to you

A perfect sentiment for time...it is up to each person to make it the best. Good one.

Thank you Jeanne. The only person we can change is ourselves. And that makes all the difference in the world! Thanks again.
