Life


This valuable gift may come and go

 But how you live it no one knows.

 

Don’t look back and wish you had

 Look forward and do

Because no other person can live your life

But you.

 

Always think for yourself when it comes to life

It’s the worst thing you could ever lose

Some people don’t cherish it as you can see

From the bad alternatives they choose.

 

I accomplish my goals everyday

Without a single doubt

I know how I was brought into this world

But I don’t know how I’ll be taken out.

 

Life isn’t a race; it’s just a steady pace

But years and years from now I will be in a better place.

 

This valuable gift may come and go

 But how you live it no one knows.
