Life is for the Living

FredPeyer

Too many days we only exist

Just get through the day

Not knowing what we missed

Unaware there is a price to pay

 

Eating, sleeping, doing chores

Forgetting there is another way

Staying mentally in-doors

Holding life itself at bay

 

Our days should have a goal

Something special we can do

Instead of hiding in a hole

Make life exciting and brand-new

 

When we turn in for the night

Looking back on what we did

We should not be at all contrite

But happy like a little kid

 

Life is for the living after all

Let’s live it up and have a ball

            Nice reminder. Try to get a goal for today.

            • FredPeyer

              Thanks M&M, the problem is not to get a goal, the problem is which one to choose!
