Make a Life, not a Living

Busy? asked life

Oh yes! said I

Tons to do

So much to brew

Have a clear goal

Tasks under control

Mapping all timelines

Ready to rise and shine

Aha! said life

You have a perfect recipe for business

Am sure this brings you deep happiness

You enjoy every precious moment

Hearing nature's music eloquent

Treating your eyes to the blossoms colorful 

Feeling the gentle breeze so peaceful

Nope! said I

Where is the time for this indulgence

Privilege of those blessed with abundance

Mine is race against time

Steep n tough is the climb

Have so much to do and achieve

These pleasures later I will receive

Sorry! said Life

Your time here is running

Stop this mindless shunning

Make room for the humming

Dance to the beats n drumming

Time and tide wait for none

So seize the day n have fun
