When was the last time
You smiled at the lingering scent
A loved one left behind?

When was the last time
You stopped and did nothing-
I mean NOTHING for a change,
And did not worry about it all?

When was the last time
You looked at mum and dad in the eye,
And said, “Thank you for all you have done.”?

When was the last time
You took all your heartaches and matched them up with the countless ways in which you are blessed- better off than most- lucky-
Call it what you will….

But seriously, WHEN?
Today, I  got to know I’m dying!

I’ve almost missed that time
When I should have done more important things….

I don’t want you to lose your time!
Oh, When was the last time…………
