Life is too short
to let even one day
be frenzied or frazzled
or frittered away

Life is too short
not to take time to do
the things that will hold
the most meaning for you

So let yourself float
like a leaf on a stream
relax with your memories
and let yourself dream

Throw out your list
that's impossibly long
and dance a few steps
to a favorite song

Turn off the news
and go find someone real
who'll listen and talk
and affirm what you feel

Life is too short
and flies by if you let it
so choose what you want
every day ... and go get it
