We only live once,
This life is all that we have got,
We thrive on memories,
Good, bad and strong,
We dream of a future,
Rosy, bright and then get forlorn.
Resting on laurels,
Regretting our follies,
Anger, resentment and remorse,
Leads us to a world of hopelessness,
Where dooms day looms large,
We look for a grey sky with black rain,
And a dismal landscape with despair in our minds.
Every moment that is gone is gone forever,
Catch the moment, turn it around,
Get the most of precious time.
Spin yourself around like a dervish or a top and look at life with new eyes,
There is a silver lining behind that grey cloud,
Catch it, let it light your path,
What has gone will never come back,
Youth, glory, beauty, time,
They go away, fade away and become footsteps on the sands of time.
Make new memories of loving and giving,
Trusting and receiving,
Of bright and beautiful,
Abundance and freedom,
Forgiving the follies and foibles,
Choosing to rejoice,
Making your own destiny with your own mind.
Catch this moment, live it, love it, cherish it,
Life is simple, just accept it,
It is acceptance not expectation,
It is all about loving and not leaving,
It is all about you, and all that is yours,
Chisel your bright smile,
Carve your new self,
Crown yourself,
Choose yourself,
Remember.... YOU alone are phenomenal.
