Do you remember how a sip of cold water 

satisfied your thirst on a sultry summer afternoon

Do you remember how the warmth of winter sun 

embraced you while you enjoyed your siesta

Do you remember how the pleasant petrichor 

just before the rain filled you with glee

Do you remember those lazy Sundays

that were all about spending time with your loved ones

Do you remember the days 

when life was not about the checklists

but about the experiences

when you didn't have to rush through things

but could actually savour the moment

All of this now seems like memories of a distant past

which even though stirs up unsaid emotions inside

Yet we continue with our race, thinking we have got 

enough 'tomorrows' to enjoy life

And before we realise life slips away like grains of sand

For there is no tomorrow to race against time
