Love your life

philip lacey 1956 (United Kingdom)



Love your life it’s your only one make each day a special day
Fill your time with the things you love and make all these moments the best that you may
It’s a special gift this thing called life it gives my heart such a lift
To see all these creatures the freedom of birds in their flight
Blue sky high above tall grass at my feet sea breeze blowing in my face
The flow of the water cooling my head in the heat
Love life love your own life know what your own life is worth
Love life love your own life it’s been here since the day of your birth
Treat this planet with respect sow your seeds and watch them grow
Live with kindness and in peace because life on this planet is all we really do know
