Just As It Is

Resist the urge 
to exaggerate.
Don't overvalue, 
don't overrate.

Okay to fall short
of the goal you've
been aiming at
all along.

Better to be 
almost right
than to be 
overly wrong!

If I Only Had One Day To Live

If I knew I was going to die, today.
I really have no idea, what I would say.
I think I would go to work as always.
Since that is where my full heart plays.
I would tell my wife, that I love her so.
Much, much more than she would ever know.
She along with God saved my mortal life.
Rescuing me more ways than just being my wife,
I have no desires to fulfill here on earth.
Though I know I didn’t fulfill my worth.
Nevertheless, I served my best in integrity.
If I had only one day to live, just now,
I would tell all to live the best they know how.
Remember their mistakes, don’t make them twice.
But if they do, stay away from making them thrice.
My last words would be to say, everyone has value.
Though be cautious of the feeling they have overvalue.
My heart beat weakening, my breath weakening too.
Upon last breath, I say goodbye, precious life to you.

Exaggerate Not

never forget not to exaggerate,
          don't overvalue, don't overrate;

doing so is, in fact, telling a lie
           and it shows poor judgment you can't deny;

for truth truly disdains superlatives
           and downright detests deceitful motives;

it is more prudent to fall short than long,
           to be almost right than be overly wrong !
