Moderation In All Things, Ode To Daniel

Willful is shown as your gesture
An indicator of strength 
Though part of it is recoil
From the life that went before

Be calm in your journey 
The destination does not count 
People and moments matter 
Enjoy every moment spent 

Know when to use your anger 
Applied right you will be strong
Never, let time in memory 
Remove that smile from your face

Allow time for quiet
To do absolute nothing 
Hear the calm in silence 
Life will be so more full 

Love is the key to everything 
Not a second to be wasted
Remember, as I ever told you
Moderation in all things
