Everything In Life

We want everything in life
A perfect husband, kids, a perfect wife 
We want everything in life
A perfect mother and father

A perfect sister and brother 
Perfect friends, a perfect school
Job and education 
We want everything in life

To be happy, healthy, wealthy 
And be loved from all 
We want everything in life
But what is everything

Do we ever wonder, or ask ourselves 
Is there are a possibility that through our focus
We loose our flexibility or call it our agility,
and with that ourselves?

We want everything in life
And if something scary happens 
It marks us, we become fearful and anxious 
Stressed and distressed

Depressed, dissatisfied and disappointed 
It's because we want everything in life
And we haven't realized that we
are the everything we're looking for

and life consists out of giving , and not of receiving -so instead of wanting everything in life, if you want to be happy and steady 
Live the present abundantly by giving all your love

Start to be the everything for others, kids
mothers, fathers, sisters, friends and brothers 
and then always
You'll have everything in life
