Start Living Today
Start living today by sending surly clouds away,
and regardless of your age, it won't infuriate rage;
why should life start at forty?
Why not change it to sixty
and free yourself from your sorrowful cage?
You'll breathe easier by flying away.
It's unthinkable to let depressing thoughts
stand between you and the desirable dreams
that weren't achieved because of doubts,
or little faith you had in times of uneasiness.
Start living today by forgetting any past loss,
be armed with hope, make the last effort;
regret can't give anything back but a pain of another sort...
try much harder and happiness can be completely yours.
It's absurd to think this is the end of the line,
look forward to more days of warm sunshine...
keep yourself occupied by not counting your fleeing time;
don't be like others who wish to lay down and soon expire.
