Spare your time for the essentials:

family, the sea, and sun,

a real friend to honor,

a brisk morning run;

Laugh out loud with your children

be the light in their way,

tomorrow is not in your hand,

so live it up today;

Love with all your heart

be motivated and driven;

Hatred can tear you apart,

count the blessings your were given;

Save those who need you and smile

give them a piece of your soul

walk that extra long mile

until you reach your goal;

Remember those who were not afraid

when you were down and torn,

the ones who held your hand and stayed

and shared the whips and scorn;

Failure you must not fear

stand up straight each time you fall

lean and wane and shed a tear

then gather your scattered pieces

and stand up tall.
