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.
