The Best Things In Life

The Best Things In Life





Many people say the best things in life are free,

What those people do not realize, is everything comes with a fee,

From the most costly item, to the best laid plans,

People come from all over, to give each other a hand,

To the greatest adventure a person can have,

To the lowliest experience, while you pick at your scabs,



What you do not know, surely can hurt you,

From personal experience, you gain truth and virtue,

The best you can hope for, is to learn from mistakes,

And go full-force forward, never minding the brakes,



You get only one shot, at this thing we call life,

It is for you to decide, to fill it with joy or with strife,



They say you can't take it with you, the things you hold dear,

This idea holds the richest in fear,

To spend a lifetime procuring material things,

And to give it all up, will make your heart sing,



You see, the best things in life are quite easy to obtain,

Find whatever makes you happy, let that passion burn like a flame,



The best kept secret in life is this:, keep your mind void of clutter, fill your heart with much bliss,



Remember these words, and please take them to heart,

No matter how old you are, it's not too late to start,

Live life to the fullest, be all you can be,

And remember this mantra, the best things in life are for free.
