A Gift

Life is so very special, don't throw it away. Savour it, with happy wonderful times, with family and friends. No wasting this gift we are given, even if hard or painful times come your way. Wake up each morning and say, a new day is here. Put a smile on when you greet the mirror, and leave it on all day. Life is so very special, don't throw it away. Spend it like there is no tomorrow, Because tomorrow might not, come your way. Copyright 2008 Anne Rutherford Poems From The Heart Series
