Strong bond transports,
beyond long past,
stay current to savor at last.
Old day dreams come,
then fly by fast,
while hearts and minds dance in contrast.
Enjoy today,
right now is here,
allow regrets to disappear.
Burn yesterday,
release held fears,
this present moment feels so clear.
A solid vow,
sewn to mend time,
bright new laughter rings till it chimes.
Savor this life,
as days pass by,
enjoy each second till eyes shine.
Inner thoughts stop,
peacefully mute,
both brain and soul ease their commute.
Laughter restarts,
without dispute,
tomorrow twinkles in salute.
