Life's Lottery

We all come in one by one Through life's gates To live it to the fullest Some of us will not hesitate Though some stay secluded Off to themselves While other stay busy constantly working Like good little elves As we all get picked one by one to pass I set and wonder how many thought that life would always last When actually it all goes by so fast In the blink of an eye it can fly by And in this life we all have a time we must die So one day while your traveling on this road Slow your self and lighten your load Make the time to live a dream Realize what it all really means Look up a long lost friend And ask them how they have been Take the time to make someone smile Set down and rest for a while Maybe try a new food Something you never have ate Only then life's lottery You will appreciate Written by author Joseph Adam Burchett 2/8/12
