Calculating the measure
Of happiness in life
All depends on willingness
In living with or without strife
There’s a learning curve
In everything we do
Pay attention to mistakes
And to your heart be true
Strive for perfection
But admit to your faults
Pave a way to your future
Smiling with summersaults
Don’t beat yourself up
Cause you fell to your knees
Get back up and try again
Life isn’t always a life of ease
Success is proportionate
To a ratio of work and play
When one overshadows the other
It’ll be a gloomy day
Everything in moderation
Take pride in all you do
Remember to smile
It looks good on you too
In my own youth
I walked a zigzag road
Now I walk a straight line
Carrying a lighter load
Give yourself a percentage
And believe in yourself
You’re the master of your future
Growing your own wealth
