Live strongly, burn brightly,
Everyday is a blank page
Waiting for you to
Write upon it.
Do not fizzle, do not simmer
Flare and shine in the dark,
Take risks, make mistakes
Fall only to get up again.
A life is a precious
Drop of liquid gold
That is to be protected
But also used
For a life wasted
Is a wasted miracle.
So I urge you
Do not sit by as
The world turns around you,
Live your life to the
Fullest extent,
Burn brightlly
In the darkness of our world.
