Live Everyday

If today is your last day on earth

how would you live it?

First I would let the ones I love

know I love them, then ask

forgiveness for my missteps
or selfish actions that caused harm

when the slate is cleared
I’ll look for things I still want to do.

Part of me will want to fix

those flaws that get in the way

of happiness, another solution

to toss them out and begin again.

Travel to those places I want to see
dwell in the wonder of life around me

grateful to live another day
to learn, to work, to love, to play.
