I recently reread the wonderful poem by Robert Drake & it struck a chord.
“Sometimes I feel I want to go back in time…
Not to change things, but to feel a couple of things twice.
Sometimes I wish I was a baby for a while…
Not to be walked in the pram but to see my mother’s smile.
Some times I wish I could go back to school…
Not to become a child but to learn how to be cool.
Sometimes I wish I could be back in college…
Not to be a rebel but to understand what I studied.
Sometimes I wish I was a fresher at my work…
Not to do less work but to recall the joy of the first pay cheque.
Sometimes I wish my kids were younger….
Not because they grew fast but to play with them a bit more.
Sometimes I feel I still had some more time to live…
Not to have a longer life but to know what I could give & to spend more time on things that truly matter.
Since the times that are gone can never come back, let’s enjoy the moments as we live them from now on….”
Reading the poem, I was reminded of a quote from a book by Paulo Coelho “One day we will wake up and there won’t be any more time to do the things we’ve always wanted to do. Do it NOW!”
Let’s celebrate our everyday life . . . Everyday, every minute, every second.
Life is too short to worry about stupid things.
Have fun, regret nothing & don’t let small things bring you down.
Let’s spend time with the people who truly matter in our life & stay blessed forever.
