Live Your Life

Do you sometimes feel your life is a dead-end?
Have you given up hope, or just lack having a friend?
What are the thoughts that run through your head?
You own them, so choose the positive instead.

Why focus on the bad when you can note the good?
Find what makes you glad even if you’re misunderstood.
You can take charge of life by not pointing the finger.
Let thankful thoughts be the thoughts that linger.

Maybe you’ve had to go without a thing or two.
Maybe growing up at home felt more like a zoo.
But who cares about the grudges you now nurse?
You must move on, be the one to forgive first.

Go for a walk on a moonlit evening.
Find a song your heart wants to sing.
There’s so much you can be grateful for.
Open your eyes and look for more.

Now breathe in, shoulders back, and step out.
It’s time to find out what life is all about.
You were created for such a time as this.
Your destiny is something you don’t want to miss.

Passion for Life

When I was a child, I thought like one

But now my childish days are done

Though I’ve grown up, I still like fun

As wife and mother, but not under the thumb

My passion for life continues at a run

There’s lots of adventure under the sun

And I don’t want to miss any one

As I share little joys with everyone

Who said my childish days are done?

Childish yes, but carefree – none!

Don’t Waste the Day

Every sunrise you see
Every new day you greet
Is a gift from above
Raining down with love
Don’t waste the day away
Be thankful when you pray
Make a difference in someone’s life
Bitterness cuts like a knife
Live with love and not hate
Destiny and not fate
Look back with no regret
Let peace reign and don’t fret
Look for the good and not the bad
Make someone else’s heart glad
Don’t hold back cautiously
Make today a memory
