Not to long ago I wrote "The Secret" and you promised to do everything in that poem... consider this one the sequel... [bodytext] => Sing in the shower,
Do a tap dance in the park,
And when the whole word says you’re crazy
Show them how much they’ve missed the mark.
Play basketball in the rain,
Have someone kiss your tears away,
Make up some crazy game
And then have people play it with you all day.
Laugh at yourself,
Don’t let others see you crying,
Live your dreams
Don’t you dare let them keep dying!
That’s how you keep life moving,
You just live for everyday,
So when the Lord calls you home above,
You can say you’ve lived it all, that you’re ready, and ok.

The Secret of Life

Topic: Lifepoems

Sing in the shower,
Do a tap dance in the park,
And when the whole word says you’re crazy
Show them how much they’ve missed the mark.
Play basketball in the rain,
Have someone kiss your tears away,
Make up some crazy game
And then have people play it with you all day.
Laugh at yourself,
Don’t let others see you crying,
Live your dreams
Don’t you dare let them keep dying!
That’s how you keep life moving,
You just live for everyday,
So when the Lord calls you home above,
You can say you’ve lived it all, that you’re ready, and ok.

Good words to live by... peace is born in the mind. Always focus on the positive and when that doesn't work... go and find something that that can bring a smile to you.

Thank you ginsdance. your words have helped to cheer me up tonight.
