Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Live Life Large

Live inspired, heart on fire, aim ever-higher
   Conceive immensely, strive intensely, pursue in a frenzy

Don't kick back, never go slack --- instead, attack!
   Don't lie low, or take things slow --- you've got to grow!

Throw in the towel? ---  Never!  Scream and howl!
   Give up the ship?  ---  No way!  Crack the whip!

Give it your all, stand straight and tall, knock down walls
   Reach for the sky, dare to fly, the Holy Grail is nigh...

Live every moment as if it's your last
   Never look back or regret the past

Look life in the eye and stick out your chest
   Whatever you do --- Do your absolute best!
