As though it were the last day

In an instant in an inkling, our life can pass away
We cannot know the hour and  we cannot know the day
We  must try to live each  day as though it were the last
With no time for grooming grudges or lingering in the past

So if we see the moment and can do a kindly deed
Let us stop awhile to help another out  in their need
And if  we have a heartache that's hung around too long
Let us ask  the angels to help us release this wrong

We won't have the time and we won't have the power
To be letting go of hurts when comes our final hour
So let us do it today  while we have some breath
For it won't be so easy when we are readying for our death
