There will come a day when I will want to dance, but my feet will stumble. 

So I will dance today.

There will come a day when I'll want to help, but my hands will fumble.

So I will help today.

There will come a day when I will want to say "I love you", but my voice will falter.

So I will say "I love you" today.

    The simplicity and the wisdom in those few words is beautiful. Yes, there is no reason to postpone actions of love and passion till it’s too late. I just love this post. And the photograph is perfect. Feels like a warm summer day with a nice breeze coming in from the sea.

    Thank you, Otto. Watching my parents age before my eyes has forced me to learn many lessons! I tried two other photos before choosing this one. It just seemed to fit.
