Sip, Don’t Gulp

I’m just sitting here thinking how

Tragic it is that so many people go

Dashing through life as though it’s a race,

A frightful pace,

With unattainable goals to chase.

Now, I think I know what you’re going to say,

That time is the foe who

Stands in the way,

That every dawn could bring your last day.

There’s really only one thing I can say.

Sip… doesn’t gulp.

Smell the bouquet of the finely aged wine.

Savor each morsel as though it’s the last.

If one time around is all this life offers,

I want to be satisfied with its repast.
