If we are

 

If we are

 

If we are what we eat,

Then let us not be excess,

While we all deserve a treat,

Some times more becomes us less.

 

If we are what we did,

Then let's find the joy in what we do,

While it is often better hid,

The search alone improves our view.

 

If we are to be defined,

Then let us write our definition,

While we can't fast forward or rewind,

Imagine the instant replayed before any decision.

 

If we are to be a better future,

Then we must not forget our past,

While it is an unforgiving tutor,

Let the lessons learnt by us eternally last.
