Sunrise greets morning

Life’s precious rewrite

Opportunity

Second chance takes flight

 

Lifetime’s intentions

Journey not complete

Treasure each minute

Spirit’s breath, upbeat

 

Always share kindness

Chase gray clouds away

Smile warms someone’s heart

Brighten one more day

 

Tomorrow can wait

Walk this cherished route

Embrace love’s moments

Before time runs out
