Life Is Short! Poem by Daya Nandan

Life is short, that is a fact,
Life is short, we must think carefully before we act,
Life is short, each decision must be well weighed,
Life is short, each choice must be analytically made,

We are ageing fast, our youth won't last forever,
We must make the right decisions to succeed in each endeavour,
We must pick our battles, pick the right ones worth fighting for,
Be it in our careers or love life, we must wisely choose our own war,

Remember that each day wasted is a wasted potential chance,
An opportunity lost to learn a step of life's magical dance,
So waste no time, build yourself in every way that you can,
Learn and unleash your potential to become a better woman or man,

Improve after each mistake, make them the stepping stones that you take,
Fight and struggle through each hardship despite the pain of each ache,
Educate yourself, improve your physique and find your passions and love,
And wisely use this brief window of life given to us by god above!
