For Who And Why

To those who value it... Life becomes more precious, When the thought of death and its permanence... Comes to be not so distant, In the reality of one who reflects on the years lived. Fragile is this gift that has been given. And those who believe, They can do as they please at a time when they choose... Often find themselves wishing they did not refuse, To take that time when it came... For themselves and no one else. Realizing who they did that for... Has either ignored them, Or pushed them aside. To show no appreciation. As they live their own lives! It is best to prioritize what one does... For who and why! Before they see their lives, Like flashing snapshots. Passing fast through what seems an hour glass.
