We were made for now.
This very second, this very breath.
We weren't made for tripping ourselves up over the future,
we were made for gracefully dancing through this day.
This very second, this very breath.
We weren't made to live like we're blinking,
for so much can be missed in a blink;
a loving look from an admirer,
a joking smile from a friend,
a tear of appreciation from a relative.
But even more than that;
a life can be over in a blink,
and a child can be born in a blink.
We weren't made to let life pass us by while were over here
blinking.
Open your eyes,
experience life before it slips away,
for it will,
and when you're older and about to pass, you won't say;
"Boy, I wish I had blinked more."
No, you'll say,
"Boy, I wish I had seen more."
