Finkelstein breezed through the Old Testament
Hebrew for him was no impediment
But no lobster, no shrimp?
On food he would not skimp! ,,,
Eats pork too ~ No stomach for sentiment
Ahmed thrilled to Muhammad and Allah
He thought he’d be a great Muslim fellow
What’s this? – Pray five times a day
How well is that gonna pay
Ahmed’s new hero ~ L. Dicaprio
Ryan Kelly, the perfect altar boy
Brought the parish priest and his parents joy
Hold on – the priest’s celibate?
First his jaw dropped, then it shut
Ryan ran to the port, yelled ‘Ship Ahoy!’
You only live once. Don't let your time for happiness be consumed by hate, especially for things that you can't even understand.
A-s you only live once,
N-ot twice beneath the blue;
A-llow the light to take away
D-eep darkness from
Y-ou.
B-oy and girl live only once,
E-ven the young and old;
R-egardless of life's status,
M-an goes to tomb so cold.
U-se the little chance
N-ever waste opportunity;
D-ay six of warm July
O-pen your soul to the Almighty.
B-reath you take won't last,
E-nd of it will surely come;
R-eminding you of the dust,
C-lay and mound in God's palm.
I-n this world you travel,
L-ife's journey isn't great in distance;
L-et it be worthy before God,
A-s you only live once.
Lazarus was raised from the dead
Kaguvi died and is still dead
Lazarus lived again
Goncalo lived once
In addition, we do not think he will come back
You only live once on earth
If you decide to do it
Do it, tomorrow will be too late
Today is here
You never know what is around the corner
Do what you want to do right now
Because on earth: you only live once
If you want to make her happy
If you want to make him happy
Do it without hesitating
Who knows?
Tomorrow you may be sobbing
It’s like funny
When you die
You won’t be granted permission
Permission to live again
God will tell you the thing
The thing is
You only live once on earth
After earth
Its Heaven or hell
It’s not earth again
You only live once on earth
That I had loved..
Fulfilled the purpose of my birth
And that I was beloved
Until I took my last breath
That I tally up to the stars
How they've shined away
The darkness walked thus far
And hope to become as they
And I'll rise and set
Through time and space
As I expand and contract
At light year pace
And of all my passions
Squeeze out every ounce
Set all my talents into motion
'cos you only live once
And when you think of me
The universe explodes to mind
'cos I'd finally be free
As a gust of solar wind
Though it seems inevitable
I'd die unfulfilled otherwise
Actually completely miserable
If I didn't know the meaning of the universe
Inspired by Silent One's final poem contest
They say
You only live once
But that's no longer true
Angels and demons
Always repeating life
Through different bodies
And different souls
Although they're empty
They're minds are clear
Never believe
Words that are said
From another's point of view
Can anyone really trust
Themselves with everything
And I mean every little thing
Every choice that's Been made
Every word that's Been spoken
Remember your morals
Remember what's right
one chance at life.
i cant screw this up.
only one shot.
i cant mess this up.
you only live once.
so why not have some fun?
Raised to belive,
that we're all gonna die.
you only have one life
you only live once.
one life, one chance,
only one shot.
You only live once so don't spend your life being depressed.
You are a fantastic human being and that makes you blessed.
Please don't feel sorry for yourself or think negative thoughts.
Be filled with joy because of the friends and family you've got.
Don't beat yourself up because of the wrong things you've done.
You are a very special person so kick up your heels and have fun.
You shouldn't feel bad because of your flaws, everybody else has flaws too.
Just do good things and treat people with respect, that's all you have to do.
Drift
out of
safe water-
get out of your
depth
