Life Be In It Poem by Liddy Luu

If you value your days then take them real slow

Be careful, keep safe and mind how you go

Life has its own pace of rhythm and rhyme

Unfortunately for some they just don't take the time

Not because it's a nuisance but usually it's this;

between a rock and a hard place life's bus they will miss

Without warning or notice life will suddenly abort

any long term arrangements and cut their life short

So carpe diem! I say aloud, with a will and a might

And know for your time here you fought the good fight

Time lost with real people is more cause for sorrow

but never mind friends there's always tomorrow

Who knows, hey! that might just be the day

When peace and goodwill to all men comes our way

I mean, let's not totally give away all of our hope

I'm sure between us we really can cope

with the negative things that are really man made

and allow only positive things to invade

our lives, be it ever so short or so long

So lift up our voices in glorious song!

It's true when they say where there's a will there's a way

Let's look toward tomorrow and just live for today.
