What the Hell Just Happened

Live every day to the fullest Each one is a treasure that cannot be recaptured Life has a beginning, a middle, and an end No second chance to experience things for the very first time Make the most of every day Breathe in deeply the breath of life Remember the joys of discovering new things as a child Your heart throbbing first romance as a teen The night you announce you're going steady The union of two souls as you marry That scary time when your first child is born Suddenly you realize you are not young anymore Don't let life and love pass you by It is meant to be lived to the fullest Before you can turn around You're sitting in a comfortable old easy chair Wondering... “What the hell just happened!” Life just happened!
