Each moment is precious

-

Live in the moment,

Just take it all in.

Pay attention to everything, Right there and then.

Do not let your mind wander To what is coming next. Cherish this moment And give it your best.

Do not let tomorrow Make you rush through today, Or too many great moments Will just go to waste.

And the person you are with, In that moment you share, Give them all of your focus; Be totally there.

Laugh till it hurts,

Let the tears drop.

Fill up each moment With all that you have got. Do not miss the details; The lesson is there.

Do not get complacent; Stay sharp and aware. It can take but a moment To change your life’s path. And once it ticks by, There is no going back.

In just 60 seconds,

You may make a new friend. Find your true love,

Or see a life start or end. You become who you are In those moments you live. And the growth is not in taking But in how much you give. Life is just like moments, So precious and few. Whether valued or squandered, It is all up to you! ****

Always love your pet

Pets are people, too, just like you and me.

They need food in their tummies and lots of “beefy yummies”.

They are little, but their hearts are big. They like to go outside, get fresh air and dig.

From big to small, they give their all, And you can play with them with a toy or with a ball.

To the special bond between human and pet, always by your side, forever, I will bet.

Your faithful pet depends on you and all the special things for them that you do.

Pets help teach us nature’s true compassion.

They do not withhold love, nor with it do they ration.

A furry friend that is always happy to see you,

from life’s ups and downs and all that people do.

It is quite a sight for sore eyes to behold, because that bond is as special as gold. Always show them love and good measure,

and reap each day a true friend to treasure.

Children, remember to be good to your pet

Be loving to them, no matter how old they get.

Never abandon them or leave them out in the cold or heat,

and you will have a pet that is super neat!

Always treat them with kindness and love, for they are truly a gift from above! Be understand­ing and patient with them, because they will be for you.

And never, ever forget this, my friend, for pets are people, too. — Wires
