Live Life Long


                      On one cold night, I cracked open a nut.
                          And right before my eyes, flew out a message. I looked to see what,
                      What was this tiny thing doing in my chestnuts?
                          I unraveled the letter, and on It I found,
                          A lesson or two, and with not a sound,
                          I started to read.

                            "Live Life Long. If you do not, you will find that
                                the world is slowly starting to slip away from you."

                                        And with a sudden gust of wind, the letter flew off.

                                And for all of that night, and for most of the next day,
                              I thought about the note that suddenly flew away.
                              For more than a week, I lived life at it's most.
                                My old life was like a little white ghost.

    This is wonderful! I love how you describe your finding the letter, what it actually said, and how it flew off. Then to top it all off, how you incorporated its message for more than a week. The rhyming is also nice, I love it. I did sort of envision this as being about a tiny slip of paper with just one line on it, just as you describe. Thank you!
