Unseen

If we all could see tomorrow,
what would we change?
Would we alter our circumstances...
or make sure we'd gain?
Would we make this a better place for all us to live?
Would we save all our money...or learn how to give?
Would we make sure we had more...
or open the door,
to the helpless and homeless, or try to ignore.
You may glance through the window,
your life you may see...
It may offer one chances of who they could be.
Don't pass up this moment...it may not come again,
for you know where you've come from,
and know where you've been.
Look to your future...yet learn from your past,
start living today, cause life goes by too fast.

Boy it this isn't the truth. Life is so very short and I keep telling people to be grateful for every blessing. Sad that sometimes you have to lose everything before you appreciate what you had. You are wise beyond your words Pam. Thank you for sharing.

Pam, you are one of the people who gets it. If we learn from our misfortunes and experiences, it does help us realize that others also have these experiences.
