Another Day

Another day just passed by,

But now i sit and wonder why.

Things were done and plans were made,

But what effects truly stayed?

The way we live and exist,

Is to work hard to achieve our wish.

But once achieved, we do not stop,

To appreciate what we’ve got.

Immediately we grasp onto something other,

Making me wonder why do we bother?

Another day just passed by,

How many moments must be sacrificed,

Before we stop and see it all,

See that what we are searching for

Is already here, already achieved,

That we are fulfilled and have succeed.

That we already have so much to be grateful for;

No need to grasp for more and more.

If we can live every moment in the present,

Then happiness is ours, suffering is absent.

So next time when another day passes by,

You can live without wondering why.
