I felt a surge of poetic inspiration today. And here’s the result!
Life’s too short.
So eat dessert first
And be honest with people
Starting with yourself
Even – More so – if it hurts.
Life’s too short.
So wear that garish jacket you’ve been saving
And those huge earrings
Regardless of opinions or occasion
Even if you risk being out of place.
Life’s too short.
So skip the party
Or go.
Whatever feels right to you.
Even if you risk passing offence.
Life’s too short.
So kiss, fight, live and give
With passion. Love and Trust.
Knowing that each day’s sunset could be your last.
Or even theirs.
