Make Your Life Sparkle



In your hands, lies twenty-four hours to live.
You can cry in your beer…. or smile and give.!

Do you have two legs to walk down the street?
Buy a fresh apple, give it to a homeless one to eat.

If someone walked out of your life, no sweat.
I say find another, with very sweet breath.

All of us have lost those we loved deeply, forever!
But you are the master of your life, yes you, a joy giver!

Please do not ask, what life will do for me!
Ask instead, what will i I do, sming, for thee!
