Life Is Short

Life is taken for granted every single day, Letting your gift from God just waste away. People getting addicted to drugs, Being so evil showing no love. Sitting around with no goals or ambitions, Doing nothing but just wishing. You only have one life to live, So instead of always taking start to give. Make someone who's sad smile, So they will be happy for a while. Help someone who needs a helping hand, Get out and do something to help woman and man. Love your family because it's the only one you'll get, Always treat them kind so you'll never have no regrets. Treat people the way you want to be treated, Stop being so damn greedy. Don't fall into the temptations, Try and be the best of your creation. Stand alone and dare to be different, If you have kids be a good parent. Help the one's who are hungry, That don't have a lot of money. Be someone who will listen, Because you never know how they're feeling. Randomly help the elderly across the street, Help a friend get back on their feet. Help out your community, So there will be more unity. Do what's right not what's wrong, Then maybe we can get along. Share your story to someone who can relate, You never know if their life's at stake. Take a walk and enjoy the trees, You never know if it's your last day you can see. Babysit someone's kid, So they can enjoy life a little bit. Take extra hours at your job, Generous acts should never stop. Stop drinking so much, Saying you have problems using it as a crutch. Go to church and hear the word, God will give you blessings as a reward. Listen to the birds sing, Because they're beautiful beings. Watch the sunset it's beautiful, You're given a life now do some thing useful. Stop taking life for granted, Because you only get one chance. January 16, 2014 ~The One and Only~
