A dictionary will give you a definition.
Life will give you meaning.
It may take some time to find it,
Depending on the direction that you're leaning.

In case you get stuck and wonder,
What is my purpose here?
Look behind you, then ahead,
And grin from ear to ear.

Because even in the heartache, the agony, and strife,
You've made it through this incredible game,
The thing we know as Life.

Life isn't easy and will never be.
But that's no reason to stop trying,
Because the moment we stop living,
Is the moment we start dying.

So take the time to enjoy the things
You do as you move ahead.
Because the last thing that defines you,
Is your headstone when you're dead.

A friend once told me
That I should always end with
Refrigerator.

Every day is TEST DAY.
Beginning to end.
We don't live life in pencil;
We live it in pen.
We cannot erase the past,
Only scribble out parts
That we find unpleasant.
Because upon each new day,
We record the present.

To move, to travel
A story to unravel
Where do you go from here?
Wherever you may travel
Wherever you may go,
Remember someone loves you
And wants all the world to know.

— The End —
