Wondrous Future
By Janus
I sit here,
Contemplating my future,
And thinking of,
How we never care how times passes.
One minute you are a student,
In high school of all things.
The next thing you know,
You�re in college,
Trying so hard to make something of yourself.
Another minute goes by,
And you�re at home.
Helping your kids with homework,
And cooking dinner in the kitchen.
One minute after that,
You�re old and graying.
Watching your grandkids,
And spoiling them to death.
It seems there are only a few minutes to this life,
And they can�t be put off,
Or saved for a rainy day.
They must be used to their fullest potential.
No one really knows,
Why most don�t care how time passes,
Yet I see time�s despair and love,
Every single day I�m here.
Our lives only last a few minutesw,
Yet no one cares that they pass so fast.
So I say to you and everyone else,
Live every minute as if it were your last.
Don�t let those minutes slip from your fingers,
Fight to keep them as long as you can.
Never let anyone tell you you�re to young,
To think you�re getting old.
Love, and let these few minutes,
Fill you with joy,
So that you�ll know in the end,
That you lived life to the fullest and without regrets.
