You can do and you can be\rwhatever you want.\rYou have the power,\rand the right,\rto make the changes.

There are many choices to be made\ras daily life goes by.\rThere are changes in our world\rand choices in our lives.\rThere are those who come\rand those who go.\rThere are those who enrich,\rand those who drain.\rThere are thoughts\rwhich improve our daily grind,\rand there are thoughts\rthat depress us and bring us down.

Every chance meeting, \revery friendship,\revery love,\revery choice we make,\rchanges us inside and out\rin ways we neither see\rnor notice\runtil sometime later.

All of a sudden we encounter\ran old circumstance,\rbut we handle it in a new way\ra better way.\rThe choices and the changes we made\rhave caused us to grow,\rto improve,\rand we can move on\runafraid.

You have one life to live,\rdon't let it count for naught.\rYou have too much to give,\rChoose to give it!
