Life doesn’t forget about you
It just lets you off your leash
To see what you can do on your own

And though you may sometimes
Still wish you lad the leash
Every once in a while it reminds you
How great things can be without it

Live for the reminders
That your life is yours
And you’ll learn that the nights
Of fearing the future
And cursing the card you’ve been dealt
Are not your story
The reminders are
