We follow our lives very sure about what will happen,
Believing that we can do everything, we make many plans.
We live dreaming about our future will bring us many good things,
We stay thinking about the realization of our dreams.
Sometimes, to live in the future is the unique thing we desire,
We are sure that will be better than our present lives.
We stay so concentrated on that, and we stop living the now,
We leave everything for later; we stay repressed and never is the hour.
But it comes a moment when we wake up to life,
Something happens, and we notice we must live fine.
We understand there is no assurance about what will come,
We are subjected to many things, and we can control none.
We cannot wait for a future that we do not know if it is coming,
We must live today and do the best we can to enjoy everything.
Today and now are the only moments we are sure to live,
Tomorrow can be late; the next second can be our last breath.
