Surviving This World

Your presence is a present to the world.
You can make a difference.
You will make a difference.
 
If you want meaning,
Remember the past,
And obsess on the future.
 
If you want happiness,
Live in the moment,
And forget your regrets.
 
If you wont both,
Realize ordinary things,
In extraordinary ways.
 
Never be afraid to speak your mind,
And always take time to wish upon a star.
 
Don’t limit yourself,
Because you never know how far you’re supposed to go.
 
Never take life too seriously,
Because no one ever makes it out alive.
 
Be unique in you own way,
And make your life what you want,
One day at a time.
 
And never for even a day,
Forget what you can do,
Or we will never survive in this world.
