The rare chance of a lifetime
happens more than you would think,
it comes around so often
you could miss one when you blink.
It happens when you walk to school
or on your way to work,
it comes from people that you meet
and even from a jerk.
You might find one while jogging
or while walking through a hall,
you’ll spot one while you read a book
or shopping in the mall.
The point is they are everywhere
just waiting to be found,
so be alert and ready
when the next one comes around.
L-ast chance of a lifetime
H-as come from the sky;
I-t's the right to serve God,
N-ever close your either
E-ye.
C-hance of a lifetime
A-ims to show you the way;
T-he fourth of November
A-llows the truth to say.
Y-earn to zealously make
T-he moment to live sublime;
A-s you have the opportunity,
Y-our chance of a lifetime.
I will learn to live before i die..
I will learn to love and learn to try..
I will learn to risk and dream...
I will learn to share and to care...
I will bring out the best from anyone..
I will render also the best in me...
I will not wait a lifetime to show..
For if i will wait, i might lose long...
Seconds, minutes, hours and days counts...
Less be bothered by saving accounts..
As no coins or bills may amount..
To a true love that is the paramount...
We don't live twice, only once..
Careful and make it a blockbuster chance...
Avoid and don't be misled by trance..
Rather, gracefully lovingly accept life's dance...
Our eyes are full of fire
since we now know that the clock
will strike at midnight
We will begin to
chant
when the hour
strikes
Then we will
laugh once more
Later, we'll taste
dawn
When it cuts
through the darkness
arrays itself
in brillant colors
Lights up the world!
Long it's been
Too long you see,
Since I've had
Someone love me
And now I have hit
The "Mother-lode"
And suddenly,
That long lonely road,
I travel with my heart
Set on auto-mode
And wonderment
fills each day,
And I hardly know
What to say
But somehow
I sense, for sure,
No words are needed
Anymore...
This spirals above
The clouds so high,
And I trust we will
Never have to say "good-bye."
