Live, for Heaven's Sake
Live, for heaven's sake!
Open those gorgeous eyes,
And stay beautifully awake;
Celebrate the warmth of life,
Flowing to your lungs
Through the bridges of your nose
Let your skin glow
With excitement,
A you lovingly stroke,
Every, single, tiny strand of hair;
From your glorious crown,
And brows to chin, chest, thighs;
Leave nothing out,
All the way down,
To the tip of your toes
They are yours
And uniquely so
Fall in love with you;
Over and over again,
Feel the happiness as it glides
from your heart,
And changes the mood of your eyes,
See them twinkle with surprise,
As beautiful as stars
In summer's midnight skies
Hug yourself.
You are your dearest of friends;
From the waters of the womb,
To the abyss of the tomb,
The best secret keeper,
Motivator, defender,
Life's truth speaker,
You are your mind feeder;
When your life gets hungry,
You are the dream baker
So, live your life, for heaven's sake!
Life is yours, to lovingly partake.
Only then, can you invite others
To the feast on the treat that awaits
