In my life
I’ve
Laughed
I’ve
Cried

I’ve
Smiled
I’ve
Frowned

I’ve
Ran
I’ve
Stood Still

I’ve
Danced
I’ve
Screamed

I’ve
Seen Wonders
I’ve
Seen Horrors

I know there will be more
Laughter
And more
Crying

More
Wonders
And
Horrors

There will be things that make
Me smile
And things that make
Me frown

There will be more
Dances
And
Screams

There will be times when
I run
And times when
I stand still

But I will always go on
I will never give up
I will walk the path through the
Wonders and horrors
Through the
Doubts and pain

I will stand up high,
I will get up when I’m knocked down

I will live my
Life
