 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

We Live But Once!



We live but once,
And before we die,
We should do what we want,
no questions 'why!'
Life's too short for wasting,
Make it what you want it to be,
Don't put up with anything less,
For life's too short you see!
Make that stand, just do it,
No one can do that for you,
It's your life, your choice,
So do what you have to do!
No 'if's, but's or maybe's'
Just steam roller through your life,
Make your choices, make that stand,
Get rid off all your strife!
No one can make our choices in life,
They are for ourselves to do,
Do or die, and that is why,
We have to see things through!
No matter how hard things seem,
There's always a solution to be found,
Find a way, do it today,
Brace up and stand your ground!
Life is for the living,
And there are choices always ahead,
Don't leave your life to chance,
Make the best of it instead!
We live but once, and its important,
What we do with our time on earth,
Make it count, its down to us,
I personally call it, 'self worth!'
