Cherish Loved Ones Poem by Paul Sebastian

Cherish own precious loved ones
Find moments to touch their hearts
Relish chanced engaging chit-chats
Never put-off to another day's start
For tomorrow could be just too late!

If music beats in your heart
Sing it to heart's full blast
Like birds do at every sunrise
Whistle or hum a tune you prize
Let music fill the home air
Lift spirits, raise a joyful flair
Shy not away, morrow's too late!

If feet itch to dance, dance!
Let loved ones watch you prance
Save not hugs only for a special day
Love hugs, freely give everyday
Let glow within show in your smile!
Your presence moment felt worthwhile!

If kindness is deserved for a kin
Do not stow deeds, in heart's cabin
Selflessly share love, while you may
Loved ones are here on a short stay
If there's a birthday to celebrate
Some loving-kindness to relate
Some love-mending words waiting to say
Speak them now, not put off for someday
Nor pour late guilt-tears, on funeral day
Regrets swarm many days for such delay
Some roses you wanted to present
Do it now! Hearse-full roses are too late, then!
Why live rest of your life, to relent?
Better, savour moments, while you can!
Your stay in this world is a short one
Make love, treasure your loved ones!
