You Count

There must be a better way to live your life

Than with impending thoughts of doom

To walk through your day to day under a cloud of gloom.

Why waste the time thinking of what might happen

Try move and walk through life with the promise of things to come.

I know that it's hard, not so easy

But you're here, be here,

They want you, can you hear?

I'm sure you're preference is to bury your head

Think of what you have become

This is you, no more what once was

Use the present to do some good

For yourself, those around you or just one

Find a purpose, make it count

Becauseyou do!

Thx. Its not always easy being positive but the pd is not going anywhere. I try to be present for my family eventhough my default is to lock myself away.
