An Instant

Don't forget to live.....

It is but an instant that life can be born
Just as the sun beats down on our face
As the rain nourishes the trees and flowers
Giving such beautiful colours and scents for the soul
It is but in an instant, that death can be taken
Just as flowers wilt once cut from their stems
As the cold sets in and slowly leaves fall to die
It is what we call life driving us to be all we are or nothing at all
To have forgotten the simple pleasures of a sunset
To have forgotten the simple pleasures of a smile
To have forgotten the simple pleasures of a scent
To have forgotten the simple meaning of "I love you"
Don't allow the death of your dreams
To take over the life you could be living
Believe and you will become all that you are
Dream, don't give up even if those you love give up on you
They lack what you do have, believe in yourself
Love from those you love, ambition to be
Confidence in you, dreams of tomorrow
One's passion are a means to one's success
