Before It Goes Away Poem by David Harris

Before It Goes Away

Rating: 5.0


There are times when life is hard.
There are times when life is easy.
There are even times when life is perfect,
but that only lasts a short time.
So long as there is life,
we should take the good with the bad
and enjoy every minute
that is given to us.
Life is too short,
a countable time in years.
Best we make the most of it,
before it goes away.

sometimes I have to break a day down into bite size pieces....just to get through a piece at a time....but it's worth the battle when you can share with a friend

One never knows what the day may bring, it could sunshine or showers. We travel on regardless and do the best we can with what is given to us. Lovely piece of thinking here David. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

Yes, life may be tough, but it beats the alternative. I always think about the pendulum swinging - once you're up, you're gonna come down eventually, so make the most of those high points - they help to get you through the low points. Short and powerfully to the point, David. Thanks! Linda
