You are older now.

You are not just a kid.

Are you regretting the things

You wish you did?

 

Are life's sweetest moments

The ones already passed away?

Or can you look around

And find joy in your day?

 

Right where you are at this moment

You may cherish when you are old.

Moments now taken for granted,

Could be the treasures you hold.

 

One day you may lay them out

Just like a kid at show and tell

The essences that never leave you,

Stories everyone knows so well.

 

So look around and fill your soul

With what means the most to you.

Never stop creating the moments

That you will hold on to.
