Life With a Breeze

When I accept things as they come
And add up the cost to get the sum
Let down my hair and forget what was done
Then I will begin to have lots of fun
Instead of a frown I begin with a smile
Walk in someone's shoes more than a mile
Now I take time to look up at the trees
This I know is life with a breeze.

So when the bills begin to arrive
I will learn how to take five
Fix what I can change
And look at the rest at close range
Accept the other without worry
And now walk away in a hurry
This is how I will find all the keys
To accepting life as a breeze

Accepting life as it comes
Can't be compared to the mums
Acceptance helps to tame the beast
And makes me happy at least
I must give a smile to get one back
There's now no excess luggage to unpack
I'm no longer in a squeeze
This is how my life became a breeze
