we are given life on this earth

we are all given life on this earth:
for each of us we decide what its worth:
do we take for granted all of our time:
or do we make a positive impact and difference to make our life rhyme:

challenges of many through a lifetime we all must face:
look at life and living as a journey not a race:
everyone seems to always be in a hurry:
we will all reach the end sooner or latter-why do we all stress and worry:

kids are in a hurry to grow up so fast and be mature:
then as young adults they become so insecure:
as a kid just be happy to be a kid:
then latter as an adult with life responsibilities on your shoulders you will be so thankful that you did:

when a child becomes a teen:
it is then that they must decide if they want to live dirty or clean:
when teens engage in sex drugs and alcohol :
they are just setting themselves up for a great fall:

in our life and our daily living we will become known for the choices that we make:
we will become known for the risks that we take:
when people get older often they will say--that when they were younger they made many a dumb mistake:
now that they are older they regret all the bad risks they did take:

when people get older and wiser they learn remorse:
they have regrets and guilt of course:
so this precious life that you are given on this earth:
be wise--respectful--honorable--considerate--caring--compassionate--loving and kind---make your time here on earth of great worth:
