Life

As we all grow older, we are confronted with different challenges in life
They can be personal health problems, issues with our children, husband or wife
At some point we will all get sick and we all will eventually die
The important thing is learning how to cope and not focusing on the why

We must enjoy what little time we may have left on this earth
Our brains are like recorders that start our memories at birth
Live in the now and worry about the bad stuff at a later date
Love hard with passion for your children and especially your mate

In the blink of an eye, everything will change all around
Be sure to always look and maintain proper footing on this ground
Enjoy what you have, be grateful and proud of what you have done
Always look back on your memories and each race that you’ve run
