Life
Life’s made for living,
And giving and sharing,
Knowing and showing,
And daring and caring.
Life’s made for doing,
Pursuing of dreams,

Revealing and feeling,
And finding that you
Must learn how to take it,
To learn it come true.

In spite of its downs,
Life’s made of losses,
And crosses and crowns.
