Do not take
for granted
the dawn of
each new day.
Live life to
the fullest
make new
friends along the way.
Be truthful
and be faithful
to each new
friend you find.
And you'll
always be remembered
by the
ones you leave behind.
Do not take
your life for granted
for
tomorrow may not come.
Live each day
to its fullest,
Until GOD
calls you home.
