Strive

Nobody is born to die

But to live

Seize

Every opportunity that comes your way

Mourn

Every loss you encounter

Believe in yourself-

Your capabilities

“Don’t let anybody tell you

You can’t do nothing”

Life revolves around joy

And sorrow

Avoid self-induced sorrows

Smile and wave

When everybody around you says ‘Yes’

Don’t be afraid to say ‘No’

If you disagree

It’s okay to go against the grain

Whether you live ten minutes

Or survives to see sixty

Leave a trail

Refuse to return to dust unaccomplished

Strive to make that idea realisable

Dare to dream

Don’t rely on other people’s experiences

Get out of your backyard

And find your own

Open your eyes

Opportunities are all around you

It’s within your power to recognise them

Make your dreams come true

But if you die without reaching your destiny

At least lay the foundation

Your wife

Kids

Friends will build upon it

And when darkness closes on you

And life seems bleak

Have faith it will pass

’’Hope is like a candle in your soul

That keeps on burning

When the winds of doubt

You can’t help feeling

Should have blown it out”
