Is just this
A chance
A chance not to miss.

A day
In my lifetime
I’ll see no more.

Powerful
Some will adore
Knowing
It will be no more.

Cherish
Feel it’s strength
As you pass thru
This day
That will be no more.

Trust
This day will carry you
To the next
And on into forever
Evermore.

Splish, Splash Running Fast

Splish, splash
Running fast
Down the water
Running
Chasing those that swim
So fast.

Ducking
Diving
Hiding
Escaping jaws chasing
There in water running fast.

No chance of catching
They are evading.

Then something changes
One is separated
Forced up
On slick wet grass.

Holy cow!
Catch a fish so big
Is what I did.

But the question is
What do I do with it now?
