Don’t just read this poem
Life is too short to worry about the in-between problems
Live like your life is on the line

Oh Emily - Do you like Tim McGraw. Rick used to say, as Mr. Payton pointed out live life like your dying. A young man on Facebook contacted me and said he was Rick's friend from one of the places he worked, he didn't know he had been killed.
I perfectly agree
This a very demanding poem, I say 😊
My murdered son used to put as a motto on his Facebook page. "Live life like you are dying". He died at age 44, murdered. He was shot to death, it's hard to believe he will be gone now a decade, March 27th. You quote reminded me of what he had said.
