    ~~Don't Lose Today~~~


    Life is so very beautiful and precious
    Every second of every single day
    But we just take it all for granted
    As our lives just slip away

    We have a choice and it’s ours alone
    Today is not yesterday nor is it tomorrow
    This day is now but soon to be gone
    We need to use today for good not sorrow

    Don’t use today to harbor ill feelings
    Between family, loved ones or friends
    Today may be your very last chance
    To tell someone you love them again

    Don’t plant that little seed of hate inside
    For their roots spread deep within
    You may never be able to feel love again
    If you let that seed of hate begin

    Today, its here don’t lost it to sorrow
    Make the most of what comes your way
    What you do today can help strengthen your tomorrow
    So love and be kind leave hatred behind and you’ll not have lost your today.

    Thank you Aladdin. It's is nice when one writes, and others enjoy and can relate.I have been reading many in the WD, and enjoyed many new postings, and shall return again to read and comment on the works and loves of many. Thank you dear lady.....Many of mine are being reposted from my book of poetry. It's a shame we lost many from others, after the site went down. Good to see more folks posting again! :)

    Love and hugs.....
    Sami..... :-*

    Sami...I just got around to catching up on some of the writings today. Thank you for this lovely reminder. It touches my life very personally and it is well timed. Sometimes that timing is profound~

    Excellent. The poem reminded me of my daughter when she was 8 years old, she really disliked her teacher, unfortunately, she was killed in a car crash the year my daughter had her. "Mama I didn't like her, but I also didn't want her to die." Broke my heart. :-\

    Hi Toni..... :)

    Thank you for your reply and kind words. It seems that the only time I get to post now is late at night. Sorry I had to stop when I was posting the other night. Cute story about your daughter. Shows a kind heart there.

    How are you liking AZ? I lived there for a couple years, many years back. I lived in Tombstone.....then there where you are living. I hope you and your family are doing well Toni. Take care and thanks for reading and for your little story.....

    Love and hugs.....
