Life is too short to argue

Life’s too short to argue,  

To waste our precious days,  

On words that wound and linger,  

In cold, divided ways.  

Each sunrise holds a promise,  

Each breath, a fleeting gift,  

Why spend it sowing discord,  

When hearts could start to lift?  

Forgive the little stumbles,  

Let go of bitter ends,  

For life is but a moment,  

Too brief to not make amends.  

So laugh, and love, and listen,  

Hold close the ones you care,  

For in this fleeting lifetime,  

Kindness is what we share.
