Life's Too Short To Be Blue Poem by Angelique' Rockwell

My life is far different
Then I had thought it would be
Expectations change as you grow
Life is more than just what you see

Maybe something uncomfortable happens
Or you don't finish something you start
Maybe you you meet someone different
That changes something in your heart

Sometimes we get hurt
Sometimes there is pain
But live for the laughter
And relax in the rain

Life doesn't last forever
Enjoy the love around you
Becasue those that last the longest
Are very far and few

Don't stress about the little things
Try to take it all in stride
Life is like a roller coaster
And damn, that's a Hell of a ride

The topsy turvys, ups and downs
Can knock you right out your chair
But no one is ever truly alone
It's just harder for some to show they care

Enjoy your friends and family too
Cause as you get older things do change
Your loves, wants, and priorities
All of these get rearranged

Just don't ever give up
Fight long and hard
The more you appreciate life
The better the rewards

Teach the young and smile
And for Gods's sake let them play
They follow in our footsteps
And will be just like us one day

So, find the job you love
Your soul mate will find you
Enjoy and appreciate what you have
Life's too short to be blue
