Life

The cards will fall how they must and the world will turn again just as it did the day before. And somewhere there's peace, and somewhere there's war. Life's not a given so spend it wisely, don't take a gamble, use it advisedly. Don't think you have to go out and rush it, it's a beautiful bloom, so try not to crush it. Take each day like a country mile, be kind to your neighbour and pass on a smile. Never apologise for being here, we are all born equal so have no fear. Stand your ground and make your mark, don't fear the person with the loudest bark. Remember empty vessels make the loudest noise and the nicer person's the one with hand-me-down toys. Trust your instincts and you'll go far, but each of life's battles will leave a little scar. They are there to remind us of life's little fails, so use them as the wind to billow your sails. And try to catch the next high tide, there may be troubled waters but, boy, what a ride!
