Like sand from the fist,

Life is slipping away into a mist,

The moments bygone some sweet, some sour

Are there in our memories but they are not ours any more,

The places that we visited, the people that we met,

Have made their imprints and have left!

We close our eyes and live our past afresh,

But life moves on, on and on,

To no single moment can we hold on,

We can only wish that time would have paused at that glorious moment when there was happiness galore,

With every single moment and every single day,

We create new memories, some to rue and some to cherish

And that last day when we will look back,

Let us have nothing to regret,

For life is teaching us – live every single day,

In a very giving and happy way,

This is the moment which will never come back,

Today it is yours and tomorrow it will be dead,

So keep living each day as if it were your last!

Keep expectations low and strive for excellence that sets you apart,

And you will see miracles will follow,

A meaning will emerge from the great hollow,

A shining light will always guide you,

You’ll only want to move on and never go back in time!
