I've started writing a lot of poetry lately and this was one of the big ones that got me back into it...it's also one of my more favorite ones...
Don't get too ahead of yourself;
for this may be your final chance.
Not able to see everything beyond today,
but nothing can be done about that.
Living in this world forever,
won't even give you that kind of sight.
Sit and concentrate on here and now,
and decide between sorrow and fun.
But don't take long and assume it's still dawn,
Look behind you, falling is the setting sun.
Lie down and close your eyes now,
before long you'll realize that a new day has begun.
Knowing you next breath will be in the future,
is there really such a need to rush and run?
Mistakes are just a part of life
and there will be many more to come.
Stand up and wipe those tears away,
at least while the day is still young.
If better you wish for things to become,
brush it off and get on your feet again.
It's certainly not a crime to express emotion,
but just stop and briefly consider this:
For every minute that you spend upset,
another minute of happiness, you will miss.
Everyone has control over their own lives,
will you accept pain or move on to find bliss?
Go ahead and run through the fields,
you never know which will be your very last kiss.
Please don't just settle for anything,
we both know that you deserve better.
Go out and take some chances in life,
and you may find something amazing.
And when you hit those bumps in the road,
Simply take them as a chance to learn.
Don't ever tell yourself you've lost it all,
because in this world, there is so much more!
As just one person on the face of this earth,
we are like a small crumb lying on the floor.
If you stay where you are, so much you will miss,
fly through this empty space and throw open the door.
Push aside all the troubles that consume your life,
I know that you will succeed, go ahead and soar.
