Live It Well

We Get Just One So Don't Waste It

Noise never ends when you're always alone,

In a room full of souls yet you know not a one,

Watching them move about to fill out your day,

Expecting one of the challenges to come your way,

Impetuous boys trying to seed their legacies,

Still thinking they know all, despite the fallacies,

Rise up and be men if only you can,

Find that inner strength and courage, that defines a man,

Be bigger than just yourself and forget all small things,

Look for things that matter, look back to simpler beginnings,

Answers, you've always had them, held deep down inside,

Releasing the man within you, that thing you've been quick to hide,

Right and the wrongs of it all sneak up on each and every one,

Debate them inside you must, debate them to you have won,

The right thing won't always be the easiest route,

You'll choose wisely and be able to conquer the wrongs, I have no doubt,

Go unto the world and commit the conquest you need,

When older you'll rest well, and will have learned when to concede,

For not all challenges can be won on the very first try,

It's only important to tackle them and not lay down and die,

For it's at the end of the story you want to leave no loose ends,

Your story will be told by what's remembered by loved ones and friends,

Try all that you see and travel to everywhere you can know,

You get only one life so live it well before you go,

Catch you on the other side, amigo
