i have cheated myself
my chest aches
my stomach flips
i feel queasy
i feel empty
how many missed opportunities
how many innocent faces
how many moments
slipped by
and i let pass
without realizing how much i would miss
i have spent so much time and energy
trying to make it all right
trying to be all right
and i let each and every cherished second slip by
i must let go of those regrets
i do have the opportunity to cherish each and every moment today
that is all i have
i am not guaranteed tomorrow
so i ask myself
how many precious seconds am i letting slip by
in this very moment
and how do i savor each of them so they will last
