Excellence Award in the 'Step Write Up 2011' competition

Inhale your glorious youth today.
Be thankful for what you have, day by day.
Take a moment and make the laughter last a little longer,
be sure to hold tight and not let it fade.
Always take your time to ponder,
because in the end you will be the one to wonder,
about how time passes quick and wish you could go in reverse,
and regretting the things you have done the worse.
