Tried not to open my eyes today
Figured rightly that come what may
Whatever life and the day had in store
I would simply blatantly ignore
But it was not as easy as I thought
When I blinked and then got caught
It was such a wonderful sunny day
Could not disregard it and turn away
Then thought that life is really short
There is not a day I should abort
Each day should be lived as if the last
Enjoy every minute and have a blast
Don’t know exactly about the how
Only know I want it here and now
Not another minute can be lost
Don’t care about the means or cost
No bad thought and no bad word
No spreading rumors you only heard
No high blood pressure and no stress
How you do that is anybody’s guess
The whole day needs to be full of fun
All exciting games and frolic in the sun
Forget the TV or the couch
There is no time to be a slouch
Jump on the bike, go for a ride
Walk or run along the ocean side
Hold your loved one in your arm
Feeling good, all cuddly and warm
Have a feast and eat with pleasure
With a glass of wine for good measure
Promise yourself to see only the good
And put yourself in the best of mood
Then at the end of each and every day
If you enjoyed it, you can finally say
Yes, life is short, but I don’t care
I lived this day with panoply and flair

Kat, as far as I am concerned, do NOT remove it. I like to make fun of my friends, and I don't mind to be made fun of either. As my poem says, life is too short. You wrote an incredible poem, full of fun, and people should take it as that. Period. If somebody has a problem, it is their problem.
Such a great message so well put!
Isn't it, WBL, so easy to write, so hard to do!
Super advice in a fine write.
Thanks, I do try to live up to what I write, but then there are days......
Wring the good out of every new day! If only we could remember to do that when shit happens. Just jump on the bike and ride it out!
Good write, Fred.
Especially when shit happens! But like I said above, easier said than done!
You really have a "high" day. A ride, a walk, a feast and a drink. Wish you have a wonderful day every day. I shall do something fun for the rest of my day.
Lovely poem.
Thanks M&M, and please, start your fun day with loving yourself first.
Lovely words to inspire. Sometimes i guess we all need the inspiration you present here. So much more effective than a kick up the backside because the kick leaves u bruised whereas your word brings appreciation. Thank you sir.
Thanks so much for your kind comment, d a!

Very good and very true write, each day is so special and days are filled with moments and each of those is special too.
Thanks Goldfinch. You are so right, it is not only the days, it is every moment that counts.
