Don't Miss Now

The life you chose -

There's never a list for it

Of cons and pros

You find what you love, and you commit

And you're looking so far down

The road so well

That you could forget your crown

Isn't just somewhere else

You get bumped and bruised and worse

For choosing the road less traveled

You know the reward is rich

If you persist through the darkest battles

Open your eyes,

Your prize is right before you, somehow

Whatever you do, just don't miss now

You're on a bus

Don't notice the miles and months fly by

To the rest of us

You're living the highest kind of life

And though the price you pay

Is costlier than it seems

It's worth another day

The end justifies your means

All that you're working for

Could blind you to the treasures all around you

So don't miss these moments, please

The joy before the crown you seek
