C form Carpe Diem
bend your knees, straighten your back, square your shoulders,
lift the hammer overhead, break the boulder!
one by one, each one at a time, every time,
break them open, separate the stones from lime!
forest of interest to left, more to right,
the day has just begun, give life a good fight,
every obstacle is a boulder on ground,
every avenue in life with them abound!
lift the hammer overhead, break the boulder!
let the hammer’s sound vibrate, let dust smoulder!
put your mind to the task then wrestle to win,
there is nothing you can’t solve, put it on tin!
more battles are won with our hearts than with guns,
go farther by measured walks than speedy run.
look each life problem as a boulder then strike,
journey of life, is mix of love and dislike.
bend your knees, straighten your back, square your shoulders.
lift the hammer overhead, break the boulder!
