In this life we do many things,
Things that bring enjoyment to us,
But when we look back on our lives
We see things that we cannot get back.
Sometimes we say a word,
A word we should not have said
And we realise it cannot be retrieved.
There are then the occasions that we miss
That we wanted to be with.
But the worst of all is the time,
The time we had,
The time we had after it has gone.
Every moment of our lives is precious,
We must ensure,
Ensure that we enjoy every one,
Every one of them.

Good write Gold.
We can't get back the things of yesterday. Now is yesterday the tomorrow we worried about last week, or......? I've still not got the hang of that! lol.
Thank you Orchi.
What's that 'tomorrow is.....' thing? Tell me it again! lol.
a universal truth if ever there was ..
How true your wise words Andy. Thank you for sharing and for the wonderful number
And for the most part we go through the phase of "if I could turn back time." So true, sobering and guiding truth.
Yup, “make hay while the sun shines”🌅
Nice ✍️ Andy

"A word we should not have said", especially the ones we regret the most...
Beautiful sentiment! Wonderful
