The twelfth for me was "I Realize Now" by Passing Shadow

Today I Realized

Today I came upon a blast from the past
Things in a storage shed, things tossed away
But instead of sorting through them
And reliving forgotten memories
I decided to simply put them in the trash
If I didn't need them in 3, 4 or 5 years
I didn't need to go through them now
Maybe come across something
And bring back some tears

Today I Realized
Don't look into the past
Live for today
And see what lies ahead

"Everybody's lost
But they're pretending they're not
Lost"........Morrissey

I really enjoyed both the poetry and lesson behind it.Thanks to your effort,two of us are living more in today.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...
