This Life

This life We get one chance To live our life Just one that is all But do we live it The best we can Or destroy it All we can This life of ours Is for living So get out there Do just that Be who we want to be Not a stranger That you don’t know Don’t hide away Dwelling on what if’s Live your life Today not tomorrow This life Won’t last forever

Thank you so much Eileen. All too often we forget to live and get so stuck in a rut. Despite how tough things are on times we need to learn to make the most of life everyday, not always easy. But it is also possible to make dreams a reality if you really want too, i'm sure you will Eileen
