The Way

Twenty four hours in a day

Twenty four hours to work eat sleep and play

Before speaking think of what you'll say

The guides and maps but you still have to find your way

You'll need to figure out income there are bills you'll have to pay

To deal with the pressure some say you have to pray

One thing that defines you is where your loyalties lay

Approach all with kindness dont develop a heart of clay

This will help you find peace and keep conflict at bay

Be ready to cope with grace come what may

Be faithful in love don't let your heart go astray

Stand by your loved ones let them know you will never betray

We only get one life and its best to get it right

Avoid stress turmoil and stay out of the fight

Having character and values shows your strength and might

Only you can determine if your path is dark or bright

These pearls of wisdom aren't unique or anything new

And not necessarily what you'll choose to do

If you apply them you may become one of the few

Who lives their life knowing they actually do have a clue

Someone who stands up straight even when their skies aren't blue

You will find loyalty and friendship that is real and true

We only get one life and its best to get it right

Avoid stress turmoil and stay out of the fight

Having character and values shows your strength and might

Only you can determine if your path is dark or bright

Give others respect and value dignity

Let your kind heart show for everyone to see

Being kind costs nothing its absolutely free

When it comes to love never be lazy

We only get one life and its best to get it right

Avoid stress turmoil and stay out of the fight

Having character and values shows your strength and might

Be the best you can and be a shining light

You have one chance so knock it out of sight
