Morgan celebrating life

Life is a Celebration

When I am walking down the street,

Marching to a different beat,

Hop on a bus and take a seat,

I start to sweat and feel the heat-

Of the sun, of moments so fun,

And all those times I didn’t run...

And then I began to ponder,

How I need a life filled with wonder,

Where my job makes me think,

I read books filled with ink,

I have time for a drink,

And my hours don’t stink.

Is it fair for me to create these silly stipulations?

Should I care to give in to my culture’s manipulations?

So now I’m twenty and facing life’s questions,

Like what do I value, what types of lessons?

I care about love, family, friendships, and learning,

But I need to discover more, I have a constant yearning.

Now I may not be sure of my next steps,

But I know who I am and the memories I’ve kept,

I must always laugh and share and dance and sing,

And celebrate this life – the most precious thing.
