Go and Live


You were made to live

So go, live

You've been given legs to jump and leep

So go, jump and leep as high and as far as you are able

Your hands have been made so that you may hold another's

So go, grasp another's hand and never release it

Your eyes have been made to see new sights, new lights and new horizons

So go, look, see, understand what you've not yet experienced

Your ears were made to capture the tunes of nature, of spirit, of heavy metal

So go, blast your eardrums out

Your mouth was made to speak with others, to tell them the good news

So go, shout to everyone in your loudest tone 

Your nose has been made to sniff and snuffle all the kerfuffles of the earth 

So go, buy flowers for yourself and indulge in those vanilla cupcake candles

Your mind has been made to wander and reflect

So go, seek out new ideas or thoughts original to the world you live in

Your heart has been blessed by God to love others

So go, love them, with all that you have

Your life begins anew everyday

So go, live it

The world is out there

So go, sieze it
