If this was your last Wednesday,
Would you make it the best?
(This is question number one,
On Toerag's silly test).

If you had the opportunity,
Would you change the things you've done?
(This is question number two,
Go re-check number one)

Are you going to do a worth while thing
For someone that's in need?
Think about it carefully,
(It's question number three).

Have you hugged your kids or called your folks
Kissed your spouse at your front door?
If "none above" then skip this one,
(That's question number four).

Have you stopped and "smelled a rose" today?
Did it make you think and sigh?
If not then stop and do it now
(Don't answer number five)

If you answered all the questions,
With "No I haven't yet"
Then change your day-re-take this test,
Or a "zero's" what you'll get.

A deeply inspired reminder of what counts really in our lives, dear Toerag. Every day is a good day to take to heart your poetic questions and to become aware of how we spend our time!

You gave your work the grace of lightness in which you excel and yet the message comes through very clearly and thought provoking.

Thank you!

Margherita

This is one of my very favorites! All too often we're so "busy" we don't have time for what really matters... Thank you for this beautiful reminder!
