Don’t waste a moment of your life,

For life is short.

Don’t spend your days to figure out

Which way is right and which -

is not.

Embrace your days, don’t kill your time,

So that you wake up in the morning

Knowing -

You’ve done exactly what you could

And in the time that you’ve

been given.

Annoyed, or angry, or frustrated

With the cards that you’ve been dealt,

You never kneeled, did not give up,

That you gave shelter to your closest -

In the warmest corners of

your heart.

That you’ve been honest with yourself

And that transgressions of your youth

have been forgiven.

Have no regrets about the past.

And if you’re lucky -

Your life will last a little longer

then you were hoping

that it would.

So you feel tired as a stranger

Who walked an extra mile or two,

And even though it’s ending still,

Though there is no unwinding

your life’s story -

You would have let go of the worries

And all you’d leave behind -

Would be your Kindness, Wisdom,

Shining through the peaceful glory

Of your eternal and transcendent smile.
