Life


Past, present, futureYou’re born, you live, and you dieBut how do we live?
It has no buttonsNot pause, play, nor skip buttonsHow do we survive?
We live by todayNot by yesterday becauseThat stays in the past
We live by todayNot by tomorrow That is beyond us
Everything changesAnd when you least expect itIt is a new day
You can’t control itLife gives you a second chanceTo do it again
All by yourself.
