Analysis of Our Gift
Life is so very special,
don't throw it away.
Savour it, with happy wonderful
times,spent with family and friends.
No wasting this gift we are given,
even if hard or painful times
come your way.
Wake up each morning and say,
a new day is here.
Put on your smile when you greet
your mirror,and leave it on all
day.
Life is so special, don't throw
it away.
Spend it like there is no tomorrow
because tomorrow might not
come your way.
