If you can't beat them, DON'T join them!

If you are sick  - don't sit around and mope, If you feel your muscles ache - don't push off the mop...
If you are feeling the blues - don't get the tissue box -
DON'T! DON'T! DON'T!
For if you give in to your moods -
You'll feel like wallowing in self-pity forever...
If you feel stiffness in your muscles -
You'll want to laze longer than you should... So, rest if you must, my dear friend -
But it would be better to laugh in the sunshine...

"Yesterday is past, today is reality, tomorrow is a mystery..."

Yesterday is past - we can't change it - Tomorrow is a mystery we can't predict... But today, is here and real - so live it -
For we won't be able to feel it once tomorrow comes...
Like many, I've gone through bitter yesterdays -
I won't harp on them coz they are past and gone...
And I can't just sit and wait to live for tomorrow -
Coz I might not be around to solve that mystery tomorrow...
 So I'll just live through today as it comes - And leave tomorrow to take care of itself...

Looking at life from both sides now

When we are happy - 
Life seems like a bed of roses...
When we are healthy -
Life seems so detached from hospital beds... But when we are down or in trouble -
Life seems to be so tedious a job to get through...
When our health seems to be in the red - Life seems to take a totally different turn... For suddenly life seems so precious -
How could we have treated something so fragile so carelessly...?

Just take a look around us

When we are waiting with time on our hands - 
We tend to look around us and let our eyes wander...
We tend to study the people coming and going - 
And perhaps wonder what life has in store for each...
 Today, as I sit here waiting, and watching - My thoughts wander off far, far away...
I wonder if all of us would be waiting here, still -
And sitting around waiting, still, a year or two from now...
 For life is so fragile, and our fate so unpredictable -
That I can't help but wonder: where each of us will be tomorrow...
