Life And Vacations Poem by Ogolla Enock

Vacations.
Short and sweet,
But when it's over,
You must let go and go home.

As it's with vacations,
so it's with life here below.
Nothing abides forever.
Everything passes by.

Let go of the past and worry
fully engage the present,
but ever prepare for exit.
Any day can be the last day.

Like those who went before,
you too will go. But to die well,
you must live well and become
a vessel of honor - worthy of home.
