Life

Life is so short
Try to get ahead,
Wanting it all
Or nothing instead.

What path to take?
There’s so much to do
I must be strong
Not depend on you.

Find life’s meaning
And just be content
Live every day
Live life how it’s meant.

Just be yourself
In time you will see,
Life just happens
Happier, you'll be.

Life is too short Kelly, one has to enjoy one self while we can, the clock can not be turned back. And it's a one way ticket on this lovely planet >> James
