To Be Happy

When you feel that we're not worth it

reconsider

don't let the things that we all go through

make you bitter,

be at peace with all the choices

you are making

see the path that you do walk on

is worth taking.



Use the wisdom of all others

that have been through it

see their mistakes and just be sure

you never do it,

be there for people you know helped you

all along

remember all the good times had

when they are gone.



Don't take for granted even

just a single starburst

love your life but see that things

can always get worse,

see that love is not unlike

a joyeous song

that it can't grow through choices made

you know are wrong.



Cherish every single thing

until it's gone,

the things we love

will never lastfor long.

i like this line

"see their mistakes and just be sure
you never do it"

but... why yes there is a but....i don't agree with it i thuibnk you learn better when you learn the hard way and you don't even learn at all when you learn from others
oh i like it and i love the last bit

they never do last long but they are worth every last drop :)
