Don’t Blink

Keep both your eyes open.

You just might miss it.

When the time comes,

Seize the moment. Paying

Tension is free. Look around.

Don’t stare at the ground.

Notice the world you live in.

Every beginning has an end.

Each day takes us closer

to the finish line: a line

that is drawn by father time.

The hourglass begins to fill.

Let’s hope it doesn’t spill.

Every breath should be

cherished. Every word spoken

leaves us less broken. Bad

days come. Feelings change.

Open your mind, and you will

find what’s missing. Break

down your walls and build

a new foundation. Get

moving as time we’re losing.

It’s not too late to live

the life you want. Time

can’t be bought. Look up

toward the sky. Grow

your wings. Time to fly.
