NOVEMBER 2016

LIFE, IS WAITING FOR YOU

WE'RE ALL TAPPING OUR FEET

WONDERING WHERE YOU ARE

AND DID YOU FALL ASLEEP AGAIN

OR DID YOU TRIP OVER A STAR

LIFE, HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN

THERE'S SO MUCH TO BE DONE

 CLOSE YOUR EYES AND TELL ME

IF YOU CAN'T FIND YOUR WAY

I MAY TRY TO HELP YOU

I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING ELSE TODAY

LIFE,WITH IT'S UPS AND DOWNS

FLOATING HIGH ABOVE THE CLOUDS

OR SO BELOW THE WATERLINE

ONE ALMOST DROWNS

LIFE, IT CAN HURT YOU

TAKE YOU OR EMBRACE YOU

LIFE, CAN BE SO STRANGE

BE SO MANY THINGS

MAKE YOU CRY OR BRING YOU JOY

SO FULL OF LIFE, OR JUST AN EMPTY SHELL

LIFE'S WHAT YOU MAKE IT 

BUT FOR SOME IT'S FULL OF HELL

LESSONS IN LIFE, YOU CAN JUST NEVER TELL

WHERE LIFE IS GOING TO TAKE YOU

A LIFE FILLED WITH HATE WILL NEVER TAKE YOU

TO THE HEIGHTS OF A LIFE FILLED WITH LOVE

IN THIS LIFE OR ON THE OTHER SIDE

IT'S A JOURNEY IT'S A RIDE

THAT'S THE LIFE, SHE'S GOING PLACES

DOING SOMETHING WITH HER LIFE

LIFE'S QUIRKS AND IDIOSYNCRASIES

FALLING AT YOUR FEET

IT'S WHAT YOU DO WITH EACH ONE THAT YOU MEET

LIFE'S JUST LIKE THAT

IT CAN CHANGE IN SECONDS FLAT

YOU CAN WORRY YOUR LIFE AWAY

BUT THAT'S NOT LIVING, THERE'S NO SECOND CHANCE

THE LIFE YOU'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF

IS JUST A REALITY AWAY

IF LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT

I WOULD HAVE TO SAY

 REACH OUT AND TAKE IT

SEIZE THE DAY
