Living Joy

“The purpose of life is to care for life.” For what am I living And still living free In a world to explore In my own company If the memories we make Are the dreams we must share Then a world full of pain Is a chance to prepare For the young and the old Are the same person twice And the smile we share Is a charming device But the purpose of life Is the minute you fall For the joy of success Is a risk after all In a moment of time In a manner above We are free to do good In a labor of love But the fruit of concern Is the joy in our day And the caring we give Is a much better way If a person is free When a right choice is made To be true to oneself By the notion obeyed Then a growth comes inside That is wanting of late For the choice to be good Is the chance to be great.
