Nurture today’s moments
Live as much possible and with valor
Also with empathy and love
Every moment now is a gift
Soon, it will be part of your past
Bunch of moments will be added
To the pages of your life’s memoir
As today silently rolls away
To blend into to the twilight
A new future awaits you eagerly
Make every page worth reading
In the eventide of your life
Every page from the past you will read
Revisit the choices you have made
There comes a moment of truth
When the past confronts you
For a brief moment of realization
Either you will be proud or run away
Or, close your eyes in satisfaction
As the biopic starts playing
Scripted by you over a lifetime
Life is what you make of it
The choices and consequences
Life will ask you questions
Be prepared with the plausible replies©
