LIFE

 Life 

Life is like a vacation,

it’s planned, studied, and anticipated, and

then the day arrives.

There’s some travelling before you arrive at your destination,

some unpacking, 

exploring, 

and planning. 

Then comes a period of enjoyment, 

sunny days, 

sunny ways, and

then one day, 

mid way through your time away, 

you take stock of the days left, 

and you try to cram enjoyment,

in whatever time is left.

The day comes when, 

there’s no time left. You must go home,

you have no choice.

Life,

unlike a vacation, 

returning home is not like home, but 

something more eternal. 

So, like a vacation,

plan your life - 

before unpacking.
