Would it be a loss

by Michelle Fortes

​Would it be such a loss ? 

● Would it be such a loss if I didn’t read the newspaper at breakfast, 

And talked to my family instead…

● Would it be such a loss if didn’t check my mobile every 10 seconds, 

And paid attention to my partner instead…

● Would it be such a loss if I didn’t update each activity on Facebook, 

And updated my family about my day instead…

● Would it be such a loss if I didn’t spend late nights at work, 

And read bedtime stories to my children instead…

● Would it be such a loss if I didn’t stay up late net surfing,

And went for an early morning walk instead…

● Would it be such a loss if I didn’t work out in the gym today 

And helped out with the housework instead…

● Would it be such a loss if I didn’t what’s app my best friend on his birthday, 

And turned up on his doorstep with a cake instead…

● Would it be such a loss if I did my colleague’s work, 

And didn’t care if he got the credit instead…

● Would it be such a loss if didn’t talk on the phone while crossing the road,

And helped someone across instead…

● Would it be such a loss if I didn’t care how I looked, 

And cared how I behaved instead…

● Would it be such a loss if I didn’t do what I do each day,

And lived life just the way it’s meant to be.
