Live Your Life

I wrote this when I was 13 years old.

Live Your Life
Take each moment and day to day ,
Do not throw your life away.
Remember yesterday and look for tomorrow.
There is no time to borrow.
Your Life is being thrown and tossed
trying to make up for things you lost.
Life is being rearranged again.
Life is full of pain.
I know life is hard.
But there is no time to discard.
Take each moment day to day
and do not throw your life away
So you will live your life;
Although everyone lives together in strife,
There is time for everything.
Do you hear the birds sing?
The animals are struggling and you are too.
If they can live so can you live life.
So take each moment and day to day
and do not throw your life away.
