Every day is a gift (A Poem)

By Leo Kee Chye

Every day is a gift,
A gift from God,
Knowing not
If today should be the last,
Knowing not
The flame of life will
Peter out with the fall of day.

Every hour is on lease,
A lease from Heaven,
Knowing that
The Hour will eventually come,
Knowing that
Return we shall
To where we’re from.

Every breath is a blessing,
A blessing through Grace.
Breathe well
That gasp of air,
For it just might be our jolly last.
Savour well
That mouthful of bliss,
For nothing beat the fragrance of being alive.
