Here am l,
not quite lived,
or really lived my life
at this present moment,
and am here thinking
about death,
instead of living the life given,
I'm waisting my time,
my energy,
my best moments,
thinking of a world
I never know,
or want to be right now
nor to be bothered with,
though I knew of its existence
does not necessarily mean
I want to prepare for it while
living in the present moment.
Though it will come but at its time.
You are not going there
with anything but your experience.
Concentrate on living an
awesome life with
a beautiful ending,
be altruistic in your dealings,
accumulate a great lesson,
live a life of service,
earn yourself a good name,
and exit from here with
dignity,honour and respect.
You are not here to think
about the next life
you have not seen,
but to live well in the now
and enjoy the present moment
which is now entirely yours.
Learn the lessons in each encounter,
accept and forgive whoever
and whatever confronts you,
for in it you will find yourself.
At the end of your existence,
you would have lived a worthy life,
regardless of how early or
late your demise might be.
Whatever may be the case,
live an exemplary life worth
of emulating without
rancour and strive,
but with a quiet spirit full of life,
love and light to share.
However hurt or cheated you may be,
forgive and forget with
Thanksgiving for the sake
of peace within you.
