What if:

If we wake up today and think what will I do this now, then we are young at heart.
If we wake up today and think what will we do tomorrow then we are adults in love.
If we wake up today and think what can I do today, then we have retired.
If we wake up today and think, what did I do yesterday, then we have lived enough.

TheGovernoruk. 1959

A child is the future we see in our memories
They are but life in its entirity
that they are in fact our dreams in reality
and hold us, breathless as we see our demise.

No man will chain their enthusiasm nor curb their reach
when he can no longer stand the test of time himself
Only then will he let go of his grasp, his belonging
That he must feel to live another day.
