Steps

A poem

By Jamye SharpPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Three forwards,

Two behind,

Each one going,

Like the clock,

Tick and tock,

Here we walk,

Each year a million,

Until we stop,

The drudge,

Or the journey,

Make the most,

While you can,

You and I,

To the last step.

    So motivational and powerful! We all need to be reminded of our mortality to enjoy life to the fullest!

    A great reminder that we should live life as if today is our last, good choice of image.
