Life Poem by Maya Reid

Every day is a new day
Each day could be your last
Make each day special
Don’t let it just sail past

Every second is a fresh beginning
Each hour becomes what you see fit
Every day you get to start anew
And your life is simply what you make it

All men, women, and children have the power
To choose the path that they take
We can choose the slow, dangerous trek through the mountains
Or build a boat and simply cross the lake

We can overcome any obstacle
If we just use the power we have locked up inside
Even if you must walk to your destination
Let your passion lengthen your stride

Your big opportunity is out there
Even if it doesn’t come knocking at your door
Most humans crawl around on their knees searching for it
While the wise among us listen to their hearts, then stretch their wings and soar.
