Live Everyday as Though it Were Your Last
66
Live everyday as though it were your last
Yesterday is gone, so don’t live in the past
Forgive all those who hurt you
They know not what they do
You’ll be a better person
If you learn to love them too.
Take time to smell the flowers
Take time to enjoy the view
There’s beauty all around you
The sky is always new
We have the power to change our thoughts
We choose to be happy or sad
It’s only our perception that makes things good or bad
Be thankful for the little things, a smile, a song, a touch
Don’t let a kind word go unsaid, a good deed doesn’t take much
Loving one another is the best thing we can do
Its medicine to feed the soul
We feel it through and through
Each moment is a gift to us
Use it wisely now, my friend
Don’t waste it, don’t abuse it
It will never come again

Hi Sweet friend
Sorry I have been MIA, what a great hub. Bless you dear friend. Love the new photo, too cute.
Love you!
Very wise words vocalcoach. Great hub! Voted UP.
I am just thrilled that you liked my new hub Carrie. Thanks so much for voting up.
Hello Judi - It is so nice to see you again and I just love reading your comments to me. You are my precious friend. Love you too.
Dear Melinda, your words ring so true and I thank you for the additional comments. Very fine wisdom. Thanks so much.
Yes, my friend, we all live a borrowed time here on here, and we never know when we would finally cross the timeline. Well-chosen title. And I like the poem as well as the photos that go with it. Good share!
Dear Lita - You have such wisdom. I love the "timeline" reference. Have not heard it before. It feels good to me. Thank you so much and do have a wonderful, wonderful day.
Beautiful words and pictures.
It is so nice to read hubs such as this vocalcoach when the world is so full of cruelty and sadness. This hub reminds us of all the love and compassion that is also around us.
Don't ever stop writing , the world needs people like you.I'm giving this one an up and a beautiful.
Take care and God Bless vocal coach.
Eiddwen - Your lovely comments have given me verification that I am on the right path as a writer. You are an inspiration and a positive encouraging light. You shine with your wonderful positive glow. Exactly the kind of person I love to be around. I thank you for your generous rating. May God's love continue to fill your heart Eiddwen.
And, "if you have the chance to sit it out or dance - dance". Very beautiful!
A smile at the right place and time can do so much. I wish I could smile better and more often. But the serendipitous act of love to strangers can turn a day around or make some difference to make another difference.
Yes Ma'am! You're right on track! God bless you Dear vocalcoach!
Micky, my love - What wonderful comments! You always find just the right words. Speaking of which...I am still reeling from the hub you wrote about epigram. I mean - really - I have never in all of my very long life engaged in a more striking and remarkable tribute. You are pure inspiration, dotted with humor.
Vocalcoach, Beautiful Expression! Hmm I think I hear a song in here as well! It rings Joy bells in your soul...
Thank You for sharing, In HIS Love, Grace, Joy, Peace & Blessings!
My sweet DeBorrah - How eloquent you are with words. I just love "joy bells in your soul". You are a true artist. Thank you dear heart.
Absolutely delightful
A truly lovely message. I enjoyed reading your fine poem. Well done!
James - Thank you, my friend. Knowing that you enjoyed my poem gives me great satisfaction.
Very eloquently described - sometimes we allow life to pass us by without noticing the detail, as you suggest.
Thank you for your most beautiful and moving words - voted up and awesome.
pjdscott - Your beautiful comments add another dimension to my poem. I thank you for that. You implant knowledge and improve on ideas. I really like and respect that. Thank you, my friend.
Great poem. I am trying to get focused, so maybe this will help.
Hi there Betty - I am too. I'm starting to say to myself as I look at all my paperwork that needs organization, "now, listen Audrey, if you were to have something happen to you, would you want your family (or others) to look at this mess and say "good grief!" ?
I don't think so. :-) Thanks Betty for being such a great fan and follower.
spdarkstar - I appreciate your comment and am happy to see you. Thanks for dropping by.
.....well my dear dear friend - I can't believe that I missed this one - it's really defines you in so many different ways - and these are words, feelings and images to live by - please remember Audrey - this is a two way street - I look up to you too and you are my teacher in life and living - and you bring grace to my living and learning here at the Hub! Currently listening to Bob Marley and the Wailers with a glass of red wine and my two cats Little Miss Tiffy and Mister Gabriel by my side on a snowy evening by the northern shores of Lake Erie here in Ontario, Canada - please stay well and keep thinking good thoughts - and I will play the Goldberg Variations tomorrow morning as performed by Glen Gould!
epigramman - I can easily visualize the scene by the northern shores of Lake Erie in Ontario, Canada...it is inviting to say the least. A snowy evening, a glass of red wine and thou! Move over Little Miss Tiffy and Mister Gabriel and make room for Clancey! Ahhhhhhhhhh - the Goldberg Variations...performed by Glen Gould. A marvelous way to begin the day. And poor me...visiting the endodonist, kicking and fighting as he removes a tooth which is way to close to the front of the mouth.
Yikes!!!!!
Very well relayed. Adds a lot of flavor to life. Keep up vocalcoach
Anjili ~ I love your supportive comments. I thank you so much. :)vocalcoach
Yes, indeed. We have to live our lives as it were the last day. We have to be greetful of the day that comes for who knows it is the last. Very well written. Thanks for sharing and for your follow.
Thelma - I wrote this after losing my beautiful son to cancer. He lived each day as though it were his last, never suspecting that his time would come so soon. Thank you so very much dor reading this. I am blessed to have found you on Hubpages.
VocalCoach,
Such a beautiful heartfelt poem, and as I read between the lines, I feel your pain.
This is a inspiring poem for us all to stop and smell the coffee, to walk in our yards and enjoy the flowers, to be thankful for what we have, be it great or small.
To walk hand in hand with the ones who love us as we return the love so many time over.
Poems are our way of caressing our hurts, and helping them heal, as we share them with others--they might be helped also.
Thank you for being in HP--I will check to see if I am a follower--I believe I am--but I will be if not--I do not want to miss anything you have to say.
Bobbi
Lovely poem Audrey, really enjoyed it. My mam rang me one day and said "It's a lovely day, the sun is shining. It makes you glad to be alive." I was at work and started to cry. She has terrible rheumatoid arthritis and is often in a lot of pain but she certainly makes the most of every day and she appreciates the sunshine on her face.

Indeed, don't waste it and don't abuse it..Each moment is a precious gift.
Yes, we are reminded to live it one day at a time. To hold on to the hurt people cause is is a waste of precious moments. Thank you, vocalcoach.
