Perhaps 

You’ve never 

Ridden on a horse 

Or 

Maybe  

You haven’t 

Yelled “Fore!” 

And made a  

Hole in one 

On a sprawling 

Golf course. 

It may be 

A fact 

That your skills  

In painting  

Abstract  

Paintings 

Doesn't exist.. 

Or  

Like 

Drew Barrymore 

Perhaps you’ve 

Never 

Been kissed.. 

But that  

Doesn’t  

Automatically  

Insist 

That your whole 

Life should be 

Dismissed. 

Maybe  

You have yet to 

Sit atop 

A color-filled  

Prairie  

In the midst of 

Blazing Star flowers 

Watching the sunset 

On an  

Airy 

But sunny 

Day.. 

Or  

Maybe you  

Haven't 

Ordered a 

Caramel crunch 

Frappuccino 

With extra caramel  

Drizzle 

And extra whipped  

Cream 

With milk 

And no steam.. 

But it’s  

Not  

Nearly as  

Tragic 

As it may  

Seem. 

I myself  

Have a 

Hope 

To live  

On a  

Beach 

That I  

May never 

Reach.. 

But a girl  

Can dream.. 

And I think 

I’ve made my 

Point here.. 

Are you seeing  

The theme? 

Life  

Is full of  

Ups and downs 

That may seem  

Cliché 

Believe me; 

I know how it 

Sounds.. 

But  

Watching  

Others when they 

Smile, 

Comforting them  

Through  

Frowns  

Is  

At the end of the  

Day

What truly 

Matters 

Because it tends  

To  

Surround 

You with  

Memories  

And  

Treasures 

Abound. 

So.. 

Look at the  

Person  

Beside you 

Right now 

And ask them,  

“Hey! By the way, 

How was your day?” 

Because the  

Recollection 

Of that  

Very  

Conversation 

Could later be a 

Souvenir 

Of  

Something you’ll  

Never forget  

Just from  

Simple, friendly  

Communication.. 

Cherish every moment 

You have  

As though it has  

The potential  

To be  

Sublime.. 

Thinking about 

What could be 

What should be 

What could have  

Been  

(Can you hear that violin?) 

Will always  

And forever  

Be  

The biggest  

And most  

Colossal  

Waste  

Of  

Time.
