"Things That You Should Know"
Of subtleties subliminal, be conscious here and now
Of time to quickly fleeting, in reverence take a bow
Each new day holds chances, each new breath holds truth
Candor's gift is age-less, it is not reserved to youth
Always be swift to action, always be slow to judge
Be swift with your forgiveness, never hold a grudge
Moments in life are precious, though all to quickly lost
Spend each moment wisely, be careless of its cost
Better to be poor in moments, than rich in moments meant
Memories filled with loved ones, moments richly spent
Cherish love completely, life's unique commodity
When it'll come, when it'll go is one of life's true mysteries
Grasp it sure and quick, hold it fast and true
In any form, in any shape, its health is up to you
Be bold with your emotions, be fearless in the sharing
There's no time like the present, fate rewards the daring
From risks you dare to shy away, and fortune, you, does overlook
And pity swells inside to stay, from chances that you never took
In the end what matters, this simple bit of truth
When regretting secrets, the fault does lie with you.
