Opportunity
Awakened to a new day,
I have another opportunity.
How will I use this gift…
with care and reverence
or disregard and waste?

Hours pass swiftly,
am I lost in my thoughts
of “should haves” filling
my mind with regret and
resentments? Am I so busy
reliving the past that I
fail to live in the beauty
of the moment?

I’m learning to let go
of the past and the future, too.
I want to feel the tear
as it slides down my cheek,
savor the taste of a hot,
buttered roll, play with puppies,
sing in the shower, stop to
watch an ant carry a leaf
twice his size, rock a baby.

I want to live my life
so completely that when
it is my time to go, I
know that life has filled
me to the brim, leaving
me at peace, grateful for
all I have received.
