be thankful and kind
Cynthia novotny 1984 (Wilmington de)
life just seems to be passing us by
Our children are growing older
the years just keep on going by
When does time ever slow down?
we need to appreciate this life
Before you know it it’s gone
Love who we want to love
Hold who we want to hold
Make sure everyday counts
you might wake up one day
The world won’t be here anymore
Don’t ever doubt what you have
we know when this life is over for us
So always count your blessings
be thankful for what you have
tomorrow is never truly promised
About this poem
Enjoy our lives for tomorrow is never promised to us
