Every moment had
Some happiness in it
Some sadness in it.
Some bitterness too.
Living a moment to the fullest
Is the beauty of life!
I just took a spoonful
Of ice cream
Before I could enjoy
My thoughts enjoyed the flavour.
My thoughts savoured the taste too.
Happiness flew into my mind...
About to relish....
The spoon fell off my hand.
And there went my happiness too.
Bitterness replaced it.
Forget the cream,
Ice still coming to cool your mind.
Live a moment to the fullest.....
Each moment conveying something.
Either in sadness there may be some happiness too.
Like newly wedded daughter going too far away.
There is both...live the moment to the fullest.
As this is going to happen only once!
Before enjoying any moment
Its our thoughts which enjoy first.
If thoughts can enjoy,
Thoughts can pass thru sorrow also....
Once I forgot to enjoy the moment
And was quiet busy with work
Remember, there is a small moment of happiness
Which comes when you are quiet busy
And when you are free, its gone.
The moment and happiness
doesn't wait for you.
There is no U turn in your life.
Moment doesn't wait for anyone!
In other words...
Life is only one.
Live the moment to the fullest!

You are quite correct in your assessment in the poem. Every opportunity occurs only once. Take it. Beautiful poem.
Very truly said, we have one life living for once momentarily.........and once it is passed there will never come back the moment that is past......Geetha......very well composed........10
This is art of living.Life is woven with joy and woe.We have to live the secs joyfully.I also believe- - Life is only one. Live the moment to the fullest!
But that is how life and living is.. With intelligence or plans made ahead all our phases of life cannot be managed well. Bitterness has its own taste though it may not be relished by all. Whether it is past or present that we think of, the governing truth is Success has many fathers whereas failure is an orphan. Living the moment to the fullest is a whim and fancy and in practice the net outcome or impact of the act need not be that pleasant. However, your poem scores well in sharing an optimistic note and you deserve to be congratulated for the same Madam Geetha.
a beautiful write full of great suggestions. we must be present to take advantage of offers.
There is no U turn in life! Each moment is precious! So live in the Present..... Relish every moment! An advice, very valuable if practised!
