Nothing Promised, No Guarantees 

Nothing in this life is ever promised 

No day guaranteed 

Every chance you get to spend time with someone may be the last 

There is no guarantees 

There is nothing but fine sand slipping between your fingers 

From a broken hourglass spilling out onto a beach full of sand 

No matter what you do you can’t find the sand that fell out and place it back in the glass 

Even if you could it wouldn’t turn back time  

The future is unwritten but no day is guaranteed 

Which is both horrifying and exciting 

I might die before I hit my 40’s I might become an octogenarian 

Hell who knows I might become a centenarian 

But I doubt that outcome very much 

But you never know  

Nothing is promised there are no guarantees 

You might live to be 100 or just 27 

You might get cancer or Alzheimer’s or you may not 

The doctors may promise you 2 more years but their words are written on paper 

And aren’t worth paper they’re written on 

There are no promises no guarantees when it come to when your life will end 

Tomorrow could be your last or you could live to be a 120 

So make the most of every moment 

Live life to the fullest 

Ask that beautiful person out 

Take that risk 

Jump out of that plane with that parachute 

Write that poem or write that book 

Times a wasting while you’re doing nothing  

Time marches on while we are blissfully unaware of the passage of time 

Until its too late and we go kicking and screaming into that long dark night 

It’s never to late to until your times up which could be any day so why not live in the here and now 

Quit holding onto the past and trying to live in it 

Or always thinking about the future and worrying about it
