Tomorrow is not guaranteed...
Life is too precious
for throwing stones,
misunderstanding,
confusion,
misinterpretation
are human errors.
None of us are getting
any younger,
and life is like a leaf
in blizzard wind.
Will it be south,
east or west
who knows where
the breeze will take us.
For the few years
we have left to live,
will it be too hard
to love one another,
forgive each other?
Will it be too difficult
to let go of the pain,
and turn a new page?
Or would you prefer
to hold on to bitter ends,
and to after
live with regrets.
Haven’t we learnt enough,
from those that have suddenly
passed away without warnings.
Life is not certain
we may have today,
but do we have the hereafter?
Change starts with us,
by searching our heart,
correct our mistakes
and apologize
of where we might
have gone wrong.
For we may not
have tomorrow,
even the next hour
is not guaranteed.
Learn from the past
and make memories
worth remembering.
