Everyone always asks me why I am the way that I am Why I always love too much Care too much Live too much.. Always living on the moment Seizing every minute with what I can Why I make peace with Imperfection Have extreme compassion Why I'm so nice And why, most of the time, I let others take the Glory Everyone asks me why I allow other people to be "right" most of the time Why Im the first to jump to doing a loving act or reach out Why I'm always thanking people for being in my life And for doing what they do Why I always smile, even at strangers And why I choose battles wisely and listen very well Why I always look beyond behavior See the innocence in everything Choose being kind over being right Why I always look at the other point of view Or why Im always so flexible with my schedule Or sometimes even why I do a favor and don't ask for anything in return And every time that I'm approached with that one question That always leads to those hundred others The only thing I can say is... "You never know what day will be your last Might as well live the best you can Make yourself and everyone around you happy" Only now, they finally understand what I've always said For with what happened today It only goes to show... You never know when your number is up.
Reason for writing:
Today got me thinking hard about how I want to live the rest of my life and why I act the way that I do
