Life is like a river

its up to you what it delivers

Living life is more than a hit and run

You have to stand up to do what needs to be done.

In life you make your own decisions

Don’t let anyone make them for you -- have your own visions.

Sometimes in life you have to swallow your pride

When things go wrong you can’t just run and hide

Many times things happen that you wish had not

But you stand up and make the best of what you got

It’s time to show everyone what you can do

Be proud of what you’ve done and to yourself be true

Hold your head up high and stand up tall

It will be your way of showing to one and all

That you will not let set backs stand in your way

So, carry on and make the best of each new day

Do not let anyone push you around

In fact don’t let anyone keep you down

Always find ways to plant your feet on solid ground

Believe in yourself because you can accomplish great things

After you accomplish your dreams your soul can sing

Life is a never ending changing of events

With most of them we just need to use our common sense

Having and learning from your life’s experiences is best

Because what you learn from them is life’s true test

You never can tell what is going to happen in life so enjoy it

Live life to the fullest and never quit

Good luck with all you plan to do

May God’s blessing be upon you
