Never put off till tomorrow...
The things you want to do today...
You never know when the hand of death...
Will come to whisk you away...

For all the goals you want to accomplish...
You’ll have time over years and months...
You may think you have all the time in the world...
But death is sudden and will come only once...

For all the times you wanted to say “I love you”...
That you allowed to slip quietly by...
It’s these times you’ll remember regretfully...
As moments gone with the blink of an eye...

So complete your lover’s honey do list...
Enjoy the beauty of today...
And tell your family “I love you”...
Before death does take you away...
