Life


Is it about winning games Is it about winning friends Is it about the car that you have The house that you have The phone that you have The so-called “swag” that you have The family that you have? Is that what life’s about? Is it about being cool Being smart Being rich Being cute Being funny Being snide Being rude? Is that what life’s about? Is it about going fast Going slow Going to Or going fro Going here Going there Going everywhere? Is that what life’s about? Is it about getting trophies Getting honors Getting badges Getting medals Getting rings Getting pins Is that what life is about? No. What is life about? Spending time with those who don’t have it Spending money for those who don’t have it Giving to the less fortunate Giving to the helpless The homeless The hopeless. Life is about being thankful for what you do have And sharing that life with those who may not have as much. That’s what life is about.
