Analysis of Life is now



LIFE IS NOW

Time flies, and memories fade
People change and new friends are made,
Only the true remain forever at our side
Eventually the disappointment and pain will subside.

It is all about the journey and what has yet to come,
Life is what you make of it; you are what you’ve become
Life is too short to hold on to regrets
Forgiveness is the key even if you may never forget.

Cherish the good and remove the bad
Some people don’t realize till its gone what they’ve had
Moving on is a way of life
There will always be obstacles, pain and strife

You must believe that you are strong enough to fight
You have to believe in yourself to do what is right
Always do for you no matter what you do
Because in the end the only one who has your back is you.

Never be afraid to take a stand
And always be willing to lend a helping hand
A little bit goes a long way
All it takes is a smile to brightens someone’s day.
Your chance to live is now, so what are you waiting for?
The world is yours for the taking and so much more
Endless possibilities are forever at your disposal
The chance to live another day is life’s golden proposal.

Never let anyone tear you down
And never let anyone steal your shine and make you frown
So will you sit in the shadows and let darkness win again?
Or will you rise up and make the light your friend?

Here is your chance, so what will you do?
You’ve got this because I believe in you!
