A letter that never came

Almost everything tangible has an expiry date. How differently would she have lived her life if she too had an expiry date, she wonders. Imagine if for every child born, a date is given, a duration proclaimed. Would we have lived our lives differently?

A letter that never came.

Lovely, welcome to the world, it can be a cruel place, but I hope you find warmth. It will bring you joy and sorrow, tears and laughter, hope and unbearable pain, I pray you experience it all. You will remember some and you will forget some. You will collect regrets and memories and loved ones. You will keep them and lose them. You will be useful and useless, when you find meaning and lose the purpose. You will live and then you will leave, while you live, I hope you are alive. 

 Sincerely yours for now, 

Time
