We Only Have Today

We may go through life seeking all kinds of things But we truly don’t know what tomorrow will bring Our lives could end in a heartbeat by unforeseen ways --- So I cherish the moments that I have today --- As I walked, looking at the sky, I could smell pine needles I walked by As I walked aside the gurgling brook it spoke to me happy words, so fun While I also felt the warmth beaming down on my face from the sun So I try to cherish the moments I have, before they slip away --- Because we only have today --- Heidi Sands 7/19/17

With a faulty ticker, I know too well the fragility of life. Yes, each day, each hour, each minute is precious. Great write, Heidi:)
