SHOULDA, WOULDA, COULDA

I’ve already lived most of my life
What remains is so much less
When and how I pass away
Is anybody’s guess. 

Perhaps I’ll have a heart attack
Or meet a violent end
Maybe a stroke or car accident
Or a virus… will do me in. 

Can’t dwell or think way too much
It won’t do you any good
No point in regretting mistakes you’ve made
All the shoulda, woulda, could’s . 

It’s important to savour the moments
Value the time spent with family and friends
Time passes by so quickly
Before you know it, life comes to an end. 

Show gratitude and compassion
Help others whenever you can
Remember the sand in the hourglass
Over time, will slip through your hands. 

So marvel at the endless sunsets
Look for that shooting star
Enjoy that ice cream sundae
Be at peace with who you are.
