As we get older we get more and more aware we become of time and the preciousness of life.
This beautiful love poem written by Caitriona Loughrey, deeply reminds us to make the most of every moment. Enjoy.
“Barely the day started and it’s already six in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday and it’s already Friday.
.. and the month is already over.
.. and the year is almost over.
.. and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed.
.. and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.
.. and we realize it’s too late to go back.
So.. Let’s try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time.
Let’s keep looking for activities that we like.
Let’s put some color in our grey.
Let’s smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.
And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left. Let’s try to eliminate the afters..
I’m doing it after.
I’ll say after.
I’ll think about it after.
We leave everything for later like ′′ after ′′ is ours.
Because what we don’t understand is that:
Afterwards, the coffee gets cold.
afterwards, priorities change.
Afterwards, the charm is broken.
Afterwards, health passes.
Afterwards, the kids grow up.
Afterwards parents get old.
Afterwards, promises are forgotten.
Afterwards, the day becomes the night.
Afterwards, life ends.
And then it’s often too late.
So.. Let’s leave nothing for later.
Because still waiting to see later, we can lose the
best moments, the best experiences, best friends,
the best family.
The day is today. The moment is now.
We are no longer at the age where we can afford
to postpone what needs to be done right away.”
It Looks Like An Eternity,
But It’s A Short Trip,
Enjoy Life And Always
Be Kind.”
