It has just hit me that

This is life.

This is all we have,

Every chance, every moment and every day

An opportunity to move closer to what we desire

And yet we waste away our current days,

Wishing for the past, hoping for the future,

Oblivious to our current affairs

And we pay no attention

Until its too late and

We're looking at it in retrospect

When we didn't even appreciate it in the first place.
