Stay Afloat

10/5/16


Use your brain or don't

Able to see another day approach

Got to make the most
Out of it, and stay afloat

Regardless of if at times it's by train or boat

Some will be brave or won't

Realize not all can take a joke

One day I'll be in the grave, I know

Some enjoy to pray and hope

And others like to say a toast

Across hills, grades and slopes

All kinds of terrains close

And far from the ocean waves and coast

Never was it wise to go to sleep, and wake up broke

Or to stay out in the rain with no coat
