In the wild and crazy dance of life
sometimes you will trip or fall maybe
because you made a bad call but
know that you don't need a weather
man to know which way the wind blows.

One day you will wake up and there
won't be any more time left to do the
things that you always wanted to do
so do them now and along the way
give thanks to everyone who has been
part of your life's amazing journey.

Being alone makes one realize that
there is nothing more freeing and
empowering than learning to like
your own company so don't try
to be everything to everyone or
you will come undone.

Just try to be something to someone
and remember that love leaves a
memory no one can steal so if you
stumble make it part of your dance
and give yourself another chance.
