I live the life that's in my hands, And inhale as my world expands. With every count of passing breath, My life remains, awaiting death. - To use the time, I spy and seek, Adventures of sublime unique. I wait and listen, both to hear The inner voice, with which I steer. - I follow blindly its advice, Regardless of the prize or price. I trust completely where I go, In me I trust, in trust I flow. - My path so far was never wrong, It knew the turns and tricks along. Sometimes it seemed about to fail, And more than once I chose to bail. - Much pain ensued, as it would be; I fought the stream that harbored me. But once I learned that fact once more, I gave up struggles for the shore. - I turned my mind and fears inside, Relaxed as I enjoyed the ride. I knew, somewhere, that this was true, And smiling saw the daylight through. - I do not argue, will not settle, For less than joy or finest fettle. A top-notch life is meant to be, For open eyes that truly see. - What I can see and start to learn, Alights my passion's brightest burn. And where to go is never shown, I've made a friend out of Unknown. - I live the life that's in my hands, And lead it with my own demands. For joy is never out of reach, To those who can forget the beach.

In My Hands
I live the life that's in my hands, And inhale as my world expands. With every count of passing breath, My life remains, awaiting death. - To use the time, I spy and seek, Adventures of sublime unique. I wait and listen, both to hear The inner voice, with which I steer. - I follow blindly its advice, Regardless of the prize or price. I trust completely where I go, In me I trust, in trust I flow. - My path so far was never wrong, It knew the turns and tricks along. Sometimes it seemed about to fail, And more than once I chose to bail. - Much pain ensued, as it would be; I fought the stream that harbored me. But once I learned that fact once more, I gave up struggles for the shore. - I turned my mind and fears inside, Relaxed as I enjoyed the ride. I knew, somewhere, that this was true, And smiling saw the daylight through. - I do not argue, will not settle, For less than joy or finest fettle. A top-notch life is meant to be, For open eyes that truly see. - What I can see and start to learn, Alights my passion's brightest burn. And where to go is never shown, I've made a friend out of Unknown. - I live the life that's in my hands, And lead it with my own demands. For joy is never out of reach, To those who can forget the beach.
