I opened my eyes
When the sun rise called to me
I found my heart’s smile

When that door closes
Make sure you’re on the outside
Where there’s more options

So how much
Laughter does it take
To fill you
To the top
To always bring you higher
May you never know

Asked
The sun
For a smile
And it just beamed
Flooding me with light
Which made the sky more blue
Gave the greenery a voice
Warmed the waters of the rivers
Called the birds and squirrels out to play
And we all appreciated the day

Did
You think
The choices
You made back then
Would play out this way
At the time, they were fun
Never thought much about them
Living in the moment seemed right
Never imagined consequences
That would give you pause down the road a piece

Adventure calls you
To leap off the beaten path
Because you need change
Embrace this exciting time
Life is yours for the taking

In life’s relay race
Trust that someone will be there
To hand off to you
