There is a very true saying I have heard over the years and that is "Life is what you make it".
When days are young and we are developing into adulthood we meet wise and not so wise people. Some are intelligent and others don't seem to care where they go or what they do. We have singers, dancers, poets etc and there is a piece of art in everyone if they get out there and try.

On looking at life around me it gives me a very dim view of what I want to see in people as not many nowadays are honest and trustworthy.
If you are out there and you would like to make life better tell people how you feel and ask those less fortunate than yourself to join in what you and some of us believe to be a nice life.In this world of drugs and drink it seems that no-one respectfully knows what's going on around them. We are letting life pass us by when we should be outthere grabbing every moment we have to spend with family , friends and people in the community. When you wake in the morning ensure that you say a prayer and love others even although they may not love you.

Life is for living
and enjoying to the full.
Wake in the morning singing
And never be cruel.

Enjoy the world around you
and travel far.
Meet others in different places
Then you'll be a star.

Tell stories while relaxing
and working all day long
Or even find the words to
write it in a song.

Others will love you dearly
if you love them too
Keep smiling and singing
All the year through.

Take up a hobby be it knitting
or making model cars
Next time you wake again
Maybe you'll have travelled afar.

God will always be with you
When you sit alone thinking
Take up reading book but
Don't take up drinking.

My heart is with you all
Be it here or far away
Blessed is veryone around me
When I see them think and pray.

If you like the life you have
Make it as best you can to enjoy
Keep smart and tidy all the time
And you will be easy to employ
