Use These Days Well

 Life is just a handful of days,
quietly slipping through our hands.
What we delay today may never return,
what we choose now becomes who we are.

So take a step that leaves light behind,
a word that heals, a hand that lifts.
Do something good while time still listens
for meaning is made, not found.

Live gently, live boldly, live true;
these few days are all we’re given
use them well,
and let life remember you kindly.
