Empty Canvas

Like a rippling river ricocheting, rolling, rumbling rapidly, life never stops.

It’s all about savoring the moment and answering when opportunity knocks.

An adventure, a journey, the chance to explore.

Challenge what it throws at you, and it will never be a bore.

The lowlights, the highlights, and all the in-betweens,

Life is a rollercoasting thunderstorm; but when the sun gleams

Beauty and splendor shine all the way through.

And when you’re 80 and wrinkly you’ll see that time flew.

How life is unpredictable, so unbelievably capricious,

You’ll regret all the times you weren’t excitingly ambitious.

A stick in the mud, a bump in the road

Life throws these obstacles, don’t give up, just reload.

Life’s not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about singing in the rain.

So don’t wait at the station, jump on the next train.

Let it take you far

Until you don’t know where you are

And soon you’ll find

That life doesn’t leave anything behind

The secret to success

Is to never live with any regrets

Life is a precious work of art

Take the empty canvas, and paint it with your heart.
