Dream what you want to dream;Go where you want to go;
Be what you want to be,
Because you have only one life
And one chance to do all the things
You want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human and
Enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily
Have the best of everything;
They just make the most of
Everything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will always
Be based on a forgotten past;
You can't go forward in life until
You let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling
Live your life so at the end
You're the one who is smiling and everyone
Around you is crying.

Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLong day, long week, actually--it's been a long year. This was the thoughts I needed to adjust my perspective.
Great poem. Makes me really think about what's important, and it's not running around going nuts trying to do everything like most of us do every day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wake-up. We need it every so often.
