Trying to stay strong.

Here’s to the start of a new day.
I’ll take the lessons of the past, and some friends.
Move forward full force.
Cause it’s not how you start, but how you end.

My heart is still heavy,
But I’ll march ahead with a smile on my face,
Cause if you can’t have a sense of humor,
You might as well bow out of the race.

Life’s meant to be lived,
And it doesn’t last forever,
So you got to make the most of it,
And try to be fruitful in every endeavor

If you don’t try,
Your spirit grows stale.
Instead of a brightly shining star,
You’ll be the palest pale.

The lights will go out,
And they’ll never comeback on.
You’ll grow bitter and cold,
Cause you’ll forever miss the dawn.
