31. Love Your Life (Poem)

Oh, to live life
Unshackled by time
Released from the burden
Of ending
I long for forever
To achieve all
To miss nothing
Savour every moment
As I know it's special
To have eternity
To enjoy
To learn
To love
I adore our life
I want nothing more
Than to live replete
Fulfilled
My heart always overspilling
To never forget
Those tiny, beautiful things
Those blessed moments of reflection
When I can gaze unaffected
I can revel in emotion
So genuine and pure
This is the life I want
Feelings unscathed by time
No limit to how far I can go
To how much I can do
To experience your joy
As it is also mine
Laugh as much as you want
Dear child
Experience everything
Do not be concerned with the time
And my life can be extended
By the satisfaction in yours
Please, time,
Become a background noise
Don't intefere with our life
And let us continue regardless
Ignorant of your constraints
In love with our life
We are propelled ever forward
But need it be so fast
I need more time
To indelibly etch
Every detail into my mind
Every feeling in my heart
Your person into mine
Love your life
Dear child
As mine will end before yours
So you must
Love your life
