Life is in our hands
For we to spend
Let's contented, relax and enjoy
Even a small remain from the dinner table
Fills the hope of a swarm of ants under the table
Let's find the way to love and to utilize
Small thing can become great idea
A small contentment is a part of a great satisfaction
Contentment leads to satisfaction
Satisfaction leads to relaxation, enjoyment and happiness
And happiness leads to achievement of target and mission
After all maybe happiness is the only special offer in life
For we to purchase and spend
Future will very soon come
In a flash making you old
Laziness is cumbersome
Whereas time is pure gold
But, patience is awesome
You are great, if you hold
Cling to hope and just wait
Sing a prayer to feel bright
Bring out God's real might
Time will escape with speed
By making us damn aged
A fine life we must lead
Time must be well-managed
Our need must exclude greed
Our faith must not be damaged.
Must Utilize an Understanding
We will have to utilize an understanding,
About each medal earned and demanding,
Who look best,
Than the rest;
Received from those who are commanding.
James Horn
Retired Veteran
What seems to have happened is those who
are commanding want to look the best by
giving out the most medals so they can look
good for their own records. He or she who
gives out the most looks the best. Rewards
start becoming watered down versions. You
can even end up with a purple heart for a wart
or hang nail. This is ridiculous. The medal
was supposed to be awarded based on a
deserving action.
Utilize your words
To uplift and empower
Always encourage
Every minute and every hour
Promote the positive
Be willing to give back
Be that motivating force
To put the students on the right track
Utilize your time wisely
Do not waste it away
Moments come and go accordingly
Make the best of every day
Have it on your mind
To achieve your goal
Empower yourself respectfully
And emancipate your soul
Utilize those tools wisely
For they are a precious gift
Moments will come and go
Before you know it, the time will drift
Just get after it
Rise to the challenge
Always believe that you can
And find your balance
Utilize those tools wisely
Focus and get ahead
Strength comes from within
Grab hold of it instead
Educate yourself
Take charge and aim high
Lift your spirit upward
So you can touch the sky
Utilize your mind
For it is a sharp tool
Do not waste your time
Your mother did not raise a fool
Learning is a lifelong experience
Continue to open those books
Fill your world with more wisdom
So that way you would not hang on a hook
Utilize your talent
You have the skill
Keep on with your progress
As you climb that hill
It is within you
You can do it
Just push yourself to the max
Do not ever quit
Utilize your gift
And do not waste your time
Take advantage of every opportunity
Along with responsibility
Be bold and fierce
Take the world by storm
Set your sights on making history
Reach for the victory
