A poem about living life to its fullest.

We spend our lives feeling that we never get it right
We fail and we fall,
but we got to remember these are the best years of our life

Let’s paint the town red,
Live it up while we are young
Act reckless,
Let’s have some fun

Don’t shake responsibility,
but live it up while we can
We’ll get there in time,
So what is the rush

Lets fall head first and take a chance
Some may fail, while others dance
So let go of worry and hold on to faith
Remember to love while it is not too late

    I am all for it, though I don’t know if I still have the energy to paint the town red now. I love the poem.

    You are so right as stated above. Each day is a gift to us and we should treat it just that way. Very good writing. Michael

    This is pertaining to fear of life? That we must make all the mistakes possible before we do get it right, correct? I like that message.

    Love the poem and great advice. I think we keep the inner child in all of us under too tight a rein anyway : ) We need to play more.

    Great article. This is so true. We got to keep the mood up and live our life! If you’re 50 years old and think you’re old, then you will probably wish you were 50 in 10-20 years. You should be happy no matter what age you are, because you’re only getting older.
    This was a great article, like I mentioned earlier.

    By the way, could you please check out this article? It’s related to yours :) It’s about “20 Things To Do While You’re Young”
