~growing~

Learning growing, enhancing self image
always changing, always rearanging
lessons, trials, forces of destiny,
challenges for you and for me
watching, waiting for the next to come along,
what will it be that will change your theme song?
Love, employment, family, or mind
will todays lessson be one of a kind?
tears, laughter, smile or frown,
dont let the life lessons bring you down
Opportunity for strength, enhancing your soul
Have you set your site on a higher goal?
dreams of changing, nightmares ranging
ghosts in your closet in a past
left behind
still haunt you to this day, can be so unkind
family you charrish close to your heart
have hurt you again, still you dont depart
You thrive on the words
a friend does share
Oh to have more who care
Still you live for your dreams
and toss the nightmares aside
knowing life is a wonderful ride
with its pain, with its hunger you strive
to succeed
with every attempt to pull out the weeds
With the ache in your heart
and a smile on your face
you journey to finish your greatest race
Not just to finish, but to come in first place
With the failures you learn if your wise and determined
to be what you call "good" when by others examined
Most of all, what do you think?
are you good to yourself, or did your morals sink?
After you've gone from this world
what will be said
of this person who now lays dead
Did you make a difference in the world left behind
Would others speak words of you which are kind?
Did you care about yourself more than anything else
or did you take a moment to share your wealth?
When you woke in the morning,
what was your first thought?
when you lay your head down
what battle was faught?
In your days, did you learn or achieve
any new ways to erase your minds grief?
Each day holds an opportunity for you
to make your self better
Its all up to you.
