Hardly I lived!

Here I lie on my deathbed n my life I  review ,
The End of the life gives you a nice birds eye view,

I had a long life, I am aged seven sevnty,
Still i cant recall a day, when I had time plenty,

From my days as a child, my days of school,
Thought only the big ones had fun, I was a fool,

As I joined the college, my goal was a career,
For years and years, I worked hard as much i could bear,

I joined a job and soon I had married,
Here was some years I was not harried,

Then I joined the race, the race that
Led me to deathbed,
Money, power, respect and to be always ahead,

It was to be a 'Have', and not to be a 'Have not',
This was the real game, but see it I did not,

The best car, the best villa, the best suit, the best gadget,
I burned my life for them, now can only regret,

Now it looks as if the years went in a flash,
My health, my youth, with them I was very rash,

Now though i have stacked property of many a million,
Time, I need most, alas that I have none,

Doctors say I may live months four or five,
You fools, my worries and attachemnts do only keep me alive,

It may all go waste, what all I  had achieve,
Others will soon blow it for fun, I can only now grieve,

Overtimes, weekends, holidays I burnt for carreer,
I made injustice to those I held dear,

My family they missed me on many an evenings,
Just as I miss them, I can feel their yearnings,

Time the only treasure, as a fool I threw away,
Millions that I have, now can't buy me even one more day,

I was young, could enjoy, could dance laugh n sing a lot,
That was my life, the life live i did not,

Family and friends, hobbies and passions,
Weekends, holidays, going on vacations,

These were the days, only worth a counting,
The race ate up the rest, the huge loss is now haunting,

Life is made of years, years made of many such a day,
So Only way to enjoy life, is to enjoy 'Today'.

If only I knew and lived so, now I would not have repented,
Could have been happy a lot more, by being just a little bit contented,

Time and youth, health once lost no one can regain,
Are the real tresures of life, that dont ever come again.

Life would be like pardise, if I knew it before,
Life is the only thing, worth ever living for,
Today is the day, worth ever living for.
