Fragile Life

SHELLY

One minute you're smiling 

Enjoying your life

Next minute you're not there

And your loved ones are in strife

 

We hear all the time

Live your life to the fullest 

But what does that mean

When some days aren't your best

 

I believe it's letting your people know

They're loved and cared for

And mending your fences

Before death knocks on your door

 

So before it's too late

Make sure that they know

How you feel about them

Was not just a show

    Words of wisdom. We don’t know how long we have got here. Pays to be kind and to mend those broken fences. A good metaphor used here.

      Thank you

      Be kind and considerate always,
      Everyone plays a tough game,
      Show kindness soon with mercy,
      Too late show creates a tragedy !

        So true
