Every once in a while
He sends a reminder.
Remember, remember, remember...
...just remember that life is short.
Smile, embrace, love, laugh.
Go to the places you want to go and always be exactly where you want to be.
Be kind, be gentle, be thoughtful, be thankful.
Be there.
Forgive those who have wronged you
And try not to wrong them in return.
Don't let people's opinions of you define you; don't let societal and cultural expectations define your life.
Follow your heart where the wind takes it, and always, always listen to the secret, silent whisperings of your soul.
What matters is how quickly you do what your soul yearns for anyway.
Do good, be good, live good...
And good will always come back around to you.
Live the kind of life that when you die, all they can ever say about you is good.
Don't live to be remembered however, if you do that you might just forget to live.
Live for this very second, for this very moment; live for now.
And remember what you should never forget... Life is short, so live it. Live it well.
