Say a kind thing or two

Remember to be nice

If that's too bloody hard to do

Then about it, don't think twice


For what goess around in this life

Comes around again my friends

And what we do out of spite cuts like a knife

But caring about that, it all depends


Fondly remember that those who are gone did try

And give them their due despite their imperfections and mistakes

You may well someday have to say goodbye

But better to do so over beers and steaks


Laugh together when you can

And make those fond memories that won't be forgot

Herd the realities that things don't go always as you plan

And things out of your control, worry not


Money's good for nothing good

And sex for free isn't always that great

Remember the things that matter, if you would

And that it's better to be early than late


Smell the roses and see the ocean blue

Make time to see this world and all it offers in your time on Earth

See the mountains and all that there is to do

Enjoy every minute from birth


Take things as they come and all those things you want to question, ask if

Take nothing too seriously that it hurts your brain

Remember at the end we are all headed for the casket

Don't regret not dancing in the rain
