What you see’s a broken soul Who’s destiny unfolds Revealing how a heart can turn cold With lessons far too great to leave untold Imagine if you dare A love that went unshared The loneliness, the darkness of despair Leaving live with no one there to care So go on and drink your fill Of life’s beauty and its thrills Its our only chance to live this time we kill So do what makes you happy, live your will Keep your memories safe at hand Heal and love as best you can Do no harm to any woman, child or man Don’t pretend that you are wise or understand There’s no calling to abide Its your choices that you ride So choose to give and share the love inside Don’t choose to runaway, don’t choose to hide In your heart you know what’s right And come the morning light Your choices will bring harm or bring delight So be good as good can be with all your might What is done is what is done And come the setting sun Your legacy’s the race that you have run The die is cast, and eternities now begun.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. And because of your uplifting thoughts, you have greatly helped me achieve more happiness!!

Very profound and thought provoking write. We can be the first part or the last..I prefer the latter.

What we choose to learn in our lifetime
is ours to keep for eternity.

We learn what we want to learn,
and others learn what THEY want to learn too.

But each hold the lessons close to their hearts
and transform them into valuable memories.

No one lesson learned is same as another's lesson,
for we all walk different paths.

At the end of the journey,
We are the one who will face God alone...
