The Gift of Life...
Celebrate the joy of living
by choosing to believe
that each day is a blessing
through the gifts you receive.
Live life to its fullest.
Reap all the joy that you can take.
Make each moment count
from the minute you're awake.
There's so very little
that's sure or guaranteed,
but to make the most of life,
you have everything you need.
Start by tossing out doubt
and the voice of defeat.
This will go a long way
to make your life complete.
Let go of the past and
all the tears you've cried.
Let optimism lead the way
as you take each forward stride.
Never dwell on the shores
where you have not prevailed.
If you grew from your errors,
then you never really failed.
And worry is a useless weight
that you'll do best without,
for in the end we always find
that everything worked out.
Make the most of every minute
that you have to really live,
by laughing and loving,
and reaching out to give.
Do the things you yearn to do,
and say the things you need to say
to squeeze all of the sunshine
that you can from life each day.
Even should trouble
arrive with clouds of sorrow,
cling to rainbows of hope
as you contemplate tomorrow.
Give the very best gift
that you can to yourself
by unwrapping a dear dream
that you stored high on a shelf.
And remember as you strive
to reach each precious goal,
that each bridge of success
is worth more than its toll.
Make the most of your time
before each day is done,
because the gift of life is short
and you only get one.
