Don't Hate, Just Love

It’s a very short life, 
And an amazing one, 
Full of miracles and caring,
With a universe or two, or maybe more, thrown in,
All decked out with black holes and sunsets,
And yet you chose to spend it hating,
And loathing, and hitting and shouting,
And name calling and abusing. 
Whatever this is, it's a short life,
And in your hating, 
You've missed the greatest
Experience of your existence,
Don’t hate, just love.

100 Years From Now

dinosaur footprint  Texas Uni.

                                                

100 years from now, nothing of this life will be remembered,

Not you, nor I, nor once that we were here,

We only stayed long enough to scratch the sand upon the beach before the

Tide took back its own.

100 years from now, no one will know my name, nor care

That here I stood and lived a life with all those

Other nameless souls,

Yet we knew each other by the joy and sorrow

Trapped inside our eyes

And each of us took that remembrance to our graves.
