Is it something you cherish or toss in the sink?
Is it something you take to kind?
Or something you would probably leave behind?
Hearing the word “Life”, is it something great?
Or you do not care about it, making it wait?
Do you live life to the fullest or day-by-day?
Are you one of those who just gets in the way?
Does life motivate you to be happy or sad?
Do you wait until you are old and wish for a life you could have had?
Money cannot buy happiness; did you know that already?
When you become successful, could you keep your life nice and steady?
Did you know people get what they want: a car or beautiful hair?

But when they hit wrinkles, they practically wait for life to be done.
Whoever is reading this may not comprehend these words.
But if you are in a race to the top, you might not even place in third.
All I am saying id do what you can: play, share or give.
People need to realize; you only have one life to live.
