It's amazing out there so
take one day at a time
and enjoy every minute
and love, laugh and enjoy
today because today is all
you have as the clock goes
ticktock and takes all
you've got.
Don't even try to
understand but be sure
to find a place to make
your stand and hold on
to what is dear in the
short time you are here.
As you hide from all of
the madness realize that
the beauty of it is that as
we live we die and life is
what it is and we are what
we are and it will be made
into what we make it.
The art of being wise is
the art of knowing what
to overlook and the
journey is as enlightening
as the destination and
know that it is unwise to
be too sure of one's own
wisdom because if you
think your wise your
probably not but know
that wisdom is founded
upon knowledge and
shaped by uncertainty.
