TO LIVE....

Banquet of life, we are daily exposed
Expectations and hope, gradually pose
Moments of surprise, hover to remind
As dreams-plans, in time can unwind

Never knowing, what each day holds
Whether acting shy, or to be bold
Changing situations, in life exist
Hindsight in memory, we later sift

Know the outcome, before day begins
Isn't real living, bordering a sin
Accepting tomorrow, let go of past
Confident ability, what-life-casts

Afraid of outcome, miss life's joy
Cautious adults, in youth annoys
Chances given, be ready to take
Live each day, reality not fake

We only have today. Yesterday will never come again and Tomorrow never comes. We only live in today. AND yes - flexibility has become my middle name and the past few years just before my Mom died and since. Before that - my life was more rigid and routine. Not any more. Take each moment as it comes and live it to the fullest as it may be your last here on earth to enjoy.
