THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER

I held death’s hand

when I tried to leave;

It wasn’t yet my time

I was given a reprieve.

 

I was brought back

so I could help others,

not make the same choices--

my sisters and brothers.

 

“The world is your oyster,”

God blessed you with gifts.

Use them to the fullest;

don’t fill life with rifts

 

Life is a gift,

we have only one!

Live it to the fullest;

Don’t leave things undone!

Grab it with both hands, embrace it, ' cos it sure is fleeting. One minute a child the next it seems you can hear the old reapers footsteps approaching.

I agree.
"Life is a gift,

Live it to the fullest;
Don’t leave things undone!"
