One Life, One Shot!


It's true, it really is you know!
We have one life, one shot!
And to be the best that we can be,
We have to make it the best we've got!

No-one will do that for us!
Because only we walk the walk we do,
And no matter who, what or when,
No-one can do the best for you, except you!

You have to look at the picture,
From every angle that you see,
To make the picture it's finest,
So study it, and see it like me!

When we are on our death bed,
As one day, of course we'll be,
I want you to look back on your life,
And be happy with it, just like me!

When you are almost through that door,
You have to be able to tell it true;
That you were all that you could be,
And you did the best that you could do!

And not forgetting the important part,
That is; to be happy with all you achieved,
And be able to know that for certainty,
You did it all, and you're not aggrieved!

Because one life one shot is all we get,
No dress rehearsal, for me and you!
So make your life the best you can!
And do what you need to do!

But do it!
