Live Laugh Love

Live your life like there's no tomorrow.
It's not healthy to wallow in self pity and sorrow.
Visualize your happiness and let it be so.
Exercise life's success and don't throw opportunities out the window!

Laughing is good for the soul,
And going without a good laugh can take it's toll.
Unselfishly cheer up your fellow man.
Gratefully you'll receive a number one fan.
Help those in need to succeed and don't succomb to greed!

Love with all your might so that person is always smiling from ear to ear.
Overcome those demons at night so they'll disappear.
Visualize your happiness and let it be so.
Exercise life's success and don't throw opportunities out the window!
