Live each day to the fullest

Sitting on the steps, looking across the lake,
Wondering why, life at times, can seem great.
But in that second, it took me to just think,
My life could change, faster than a blink.

Is this a reason why we should always cherish?
Not knowing when loved ones may suddenly perish.
Living everyday, like it was our very last,
for our days could be very long or go by very fast

So I'll cherish and take nothing for granted,
not say things that shouldn't be chanted.
If this is the last day I have on this earth,
I accept my life, for what it's been worth.

Tomorrow isn't promised to young or old alike,
Today may be the last day I'm able to hold you tight.
Don't wait for tomorrow, do it all today,
If tomorrow never comes, you'll never regret a day.

**I chose this poem because the message is so simple. We should live life to the fullest as if everyday would be our last. Life is too complicated if we dig down to it and in life change is the only constant thing so better enjoy life.Regrets will always be there since we are striving for more but then again life is  didn't promise us that it is going to be a smooth ride.


Is this a reason why we should always cherish?
Not knowing when loved ones may suddenly perish.
Living everyday, like it was our very last,
for our days could be very long or go by very fast

**In this stanza, life is a mystery we may not know if tomorrow will ever come or today maybe our last, so live it while you can because no one lives forever. Cherish the people who love us and be in love with life everyday. We should always remember we  only live once so live 
our life the way we want too.
