Cherish: An Ode to Life

Moments to cherish:
Of belly laughs and simple joys,
Of the innocent world
Viewed through childhood eyes.

Moments to cherish:
Of the first flutters of freedom,
When the world is your stage.
Of the trials and tribulations
Of the love and the rage…

Moments to cherish:
Of the addled yearnings of love.
Of the long evenings and endless talks,
Of the dreams dreamt together
On beautiful sunset walks.

Moments to cherish:
Of successes which made you strong,
Of failures, which seemed all wrong…
Of defining times, when you went with your gut,
Of outcomes you embraced – no ifs or buts.

Such is life
Each journey is unique.
Cherish it, treasure it,
Make it count.
