The Same Leaky Old Boat

Today is the first day of the rest of your life Make the most of it Everyone has a specific number of days here on earth But no one knows what that number is Best thing is to ignore it and live life As if you are going to live forever Your final day will arrive a lot quicker Than you thought when you were a young'un But if you can look back on a full happy life Then when your time is up, you'll be ready If that can ever be at all possible! Think of the good stuff, don't dwell on the negatives Everyone has them no matter who they are So be happy, think positive We're all sailing down life's stream In the same leaky old boat... ENJOY!
