Be mindful of the things you do, be careful what you say.
Life is meant to be enjoyed and age the price we pay.
Imagine it all ended; in fact one day it will.
Would the things that keep you up at night even matter still?
The fire of time is greedy, consuming all it sees…
It gobbles up your hopes and plans then burns away your dreams.
A warning now for all to hear, a sign for all to see…
The things we do and say today are all that we will leave.
