Chocolate Cake

There are only so many moments. Make the most of them. 

Chocolate cake

Let's eat chocolate cake for breakfast
And howl at the moon tonight
Let's dance around the kitchen
And set the world alight

For there are only so many moments
Our time through the hourglass flows
And we have to make the most of now
Before the winds of change blow

Let's smile at perfect strangers
Enjoy the connections between us
Let's embrace all our imperfections
And feel gratitude for our chances

For we are not born to live safely 
Ships hugging the bosom of the shore
We are born to roam beyond these seas
And find growth out there by exploring
