Remember the Joy

Enjoy it while you can
You never know when it will all end
What's here today
Could be gone tomorrow
What once was a hero
The next day be sweet sorrow
Our lives fade fast
Moments so short
People take life for granted
Play it like a sport
They forget
How to be humane
How to preserve the world
And how to minimize the pain
They forget what should be done
Instead of what could be done
They forget how to create beauty
Instead of destroy
They need help to remember
The simplest joys

The joy of nature
The joy of human touch
The joy one gets
When one falls in love
The joy of family
The joy of wishing
These moments to never end
Life is precious
But not so pure
Life could end in a moment
So let's be sure
We remember the joy
We remember the world
We remember what we're here for
To remember the joy.
