Won't take my eyes off the ball again..

Life is not a treadmill
a long road to tread
with a goal at the end
suffering until
the race is won
or you've put
in your time

the prize is right now
today is the promise
of yesterday

so, construct, create,
love, feel, laugh
and contribute to
the world
that which brings
you the most joy

for that certainly
will bring the most joy
to the world
