Grand Life

Life could sometimes be grand

Like the moon in the pool

You might trap in your palm,

You could rise if you stoop.

A friend may be waiting

At the lip of the cliff,

And the burden you bear

Just might be a bear hug

From somebody who cares

And dares to pick you up.

Life may give the answer

To questions you may have

And the puzzle may solve

Itself and give you pause.

But you will always have

A hand to hold your hand.

Terms

I will engage life on my terms
Cherish each new day like totems,
I'll paste my face on each moment
Carve a smile on the firmament.
Hard tackle troubles as they come
Rip off obstacles like a bomb
Ask questions cause I'm a genius
Take suggestions from amateurs.
I'll climb a peak against the wind
Spread my wings n' I'm gone with the wind.
I've heard it said, life's a bitch,
No bones I'll put it on a leash
And then I'll carve a niche
In the eye of the storm and relish.
