Look around you

Look about you

What is it you see?

Can you spot the man in the shop,

        Playing games, while the cards tumble onto the table?

Can you see the woman in the alleyway,

        Smoking a cigarette as a token of her pain?

Can you see the crying child in his corner,

        After he threw a fit over a toy racecar?

Can you see them?

The people you pass everyday,

Things can change in a minutes notice.

Take the little girl/boy you once were,

        Now look at you! We've all grown to be so big.

Yet we're still just ants to the Earth.

So cheerish your dear ones,

For let's face the truth. The World can't do anything for us if we die.

For that is the circle of life. Our existance is minor in this joyous home of ours.

        So come on, go get your tutu-

        Come on! Go get your mit!-

Because that's what we'll remember,

Happiness,

        Not funerals.
