Too Short

Time is too short

not to have a few vices

too short not to take a few chances

We’re not around long enough

to say no to love,

to sit out on all of Life’s dances

 

You’ll regret all the times

you don’t speak your mind,

each time you stay down from a fall

Life’s just too short

not to laugh every day

so embrace the mystique of it all

Great poem for i can relate. I reached a point in life when i made this decision but for me i found life is not a mystery but we'll organized by Him.

[Rita L. Sev]

Perhaps not a mystery, but certainly has some surprises... Thank you, Mike!

[Michael G. Smith]

For sure for sure.

Very philosophical yet I think it has a William Shakespeare element by point out the humanity in our lives in a sense very well wrote nothing can really make this better it's simple has depth and elegance all in a writing well done

[Rita L. Sev]

Ah yes, we must embrace it all before we fall; and so I decided to take a chance and write this inspired short rhyming gift poem for you to keep as your own. Perhaps the Court of Public Opinion has found this to be true:

Short

Court finds
short rhymes
thwart crimes,
sort times,
sport chimes.

[Rita L. Sev]

:) This brought a smile, Aethereal! Thanks so much!

Life is too short not to take those chances. Better to have regrets than no memories at all. Wise words you've got Rita.

[Rita L. Sev]

With regrets come wisdom... Thanks, Blue.
