You know, as we come to the end of this phase of our life, we find ourselves trying to remember the good times and trying to forget the bad times, and we find ourselves thinking about the future. We start to worry , thinking, “What am I gonna do? Where am I gonna be in ten years?” But I say to you, “Hey, look at me!” Please, don’t worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth. Life is fleeting. And if you’re ever distressed, cast your eyes to the summer sky when the stars are strung across the velvety night. And when a shooting star streaks through the blackness, turning night into day… make a wish and think of me. Make your life spectacular. I know I did.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Am I the only one
embarrassingly so
who has to sadly admit again
how I fail
to see just how
S P E C T A C U L A R

I S. . .
Maybe it’s not so much
WHAT’LL TAKE FOR ME TO RECOGNIZE
HOW SPECTACULAR LIFE IS
AS MUCH AS JUST NOT FORGETTING
