Treasure each moment and enjoy
a world filled with magic.
Shuffle stagnant memories,
tossing those termed tragic.
Life's a fantasy of sorts,
a pantomime rehearsal.
Luck leaps merrily along,
then makes a complete reversal.
Deep desires fabricate guilt
as love's part is acted out.
The beauty of winter's white
leaves color’s grandeur in doubt.
Emotions can be fickle,
often turning on a dime.
Dreams survive by reshaping
destinies, sculpted by time.
Life's fluid, try to absorb it,
you've but one chance to play.
Garner the beauty of now,
start by cherishing today.

Good advice. I forget that far to often, when things are going well and remember it only when they turn sour. I forget to remember to be thankful for all the good things I have in life and each day that unfolds.
