Years

Day by Day getting older
Faces of people getting bolder
Dedication and mind getting stronger
Though bodies are getting weaker

But its not the physical condition
That matters on all of the person
For its the moment that counts
In each day, each second that bounds

Don't count the wrinkles in your face
Don't measure the pounds that you gain per day
Breathe deeper, think wider
Count the moments that you'll make rather

Every day, every hour, every second is a blessing
Every day, every hour, every second one is dying
But think why were you chosen to be the living
Make everything worthwhile instead of regretting

Live, love your life without fears
Wipe all of the regretful tears
Laugh, be happy my dear
Be thankful that your living in years..
