It's not as good as it gets

Some people wish for more life with their last dying breath Others hate what they’ve got and they just wait for their death Imagine what you could do, without the fear or regrets Please stop wasting your time it’s not as good as it gets There are too many souls void of the light of day They just dwell in the dark it shouldn’t be that way Place your trust in the lord he has paid all your debts Please start living your life it’s not as good as it gets We will all have that day when the sun grows dim Put aside all your fears and place your trust in him When your last moment comes I pray you have no regrets Raise your head up and smile it’s not as good as it gets

Mark there is one thing money cant buy and that is our health. there is such a huge difference between the rich and poor - many multi millionaires over on our Island - but are they happy - no they just want more and more whereas your average man on the street is less materially wealth yet cherishing everything they have worked for. hugs Jan xx

Health and happiness are hard to come by these days unfortunately. My circle is small, but my friends are the best people I have ever met! I am blessed and thankful, so that makes me happy!

For some, the more they have, the more they want... not need. For others, gloom gives way to depression, but they fail to see the light of day. Our debts were paid by the Lord... love that thought, Mark.

Some people can be very wealthy and still hate their lives, others pretend and then there are those who figure it out. Thanks Lin!!

Great message in your verse Mark, we should be grateful for everything we have, because some have nothing. Tom
