To live each day as though it's your last
To aim for the stars and to reach
To know that the pleasure you find in each thing
Is to keep, to learn and to teach
Each day hols a moment of pleasure
Each minute holds a second of pain
But the real pleasure comes when you realise
It's better to give than to gain.
Reality cannot be altered
Our lives will tick by each day
And everything that we hold near us
Vanishes slowly from day to day.
