Live Life To the Fullest, Dare To Be Brave

Live Life To The Fullest, Dare To Be Brave

Live life to the fullest, dare to be brave
Birth destines us unto the lonely grave
Between that moment that first gasping breath
Comes a bevy of gasps until our death
Shall we seek much more, stirring well life's stew
From heart and soul, ask for wisdom anew.

In that dance, upon sweeter seas set sail
Knowing knights never find the Holy Grail
In that knowledge accept Hope and its glow
Measure your true worth, live not just for show
Fight the world, attack its savage decrees
Speak, write, and plead your prayers on bended knees.

Wake to morn, rejoice in the break of day
If lost, strive to proceed another way.

Thank you my friend. Live and dare to be brave. For such oft brings its rewards. Or perhaps it is only the faith in that which brings the blessings. Either way, once one has lived it , seen it- the truth speaks volumes,, God bless..
