When all is well <br />The day is bright <br />You’ve wakened from a dream filled night <br />Remember <br />You gotta get outta here. <br /> <br />When you are sick <br />Feeling ill <br />The best food tastes like swill <br />Remember <br />You gotta get outta here. <br /> <br />When you laugh and play <br />When joy has filled your day <br />When sadness fills your being <br />When sorrow holds sway <br />Remember <br />You gotta get outta here. <br /> <br />Whether young, middle-aged or old <br />Whether joyful, sorrowful or both <br />Whether burdened or prancing light <br />Whether in dark depression or joyful elation <br />Intense pain or numbed sensation <br />To be here forever is not our lot <br />Whether we like it or not <br />We gotta get outta here. <br /> <br />What do we do while we are here <br />If death is certain – why the fear? <br />We must live fully <br />Play hard, laugh loud <br />Cry honestly, love deeply <br />Give generously <br />Enjoy – bring our joy to others <br />If we can strive for these while we live <br />We can say when it’s our day <br /> <br />It’s time for me to get outta here <br /> <br /> <br />January 14,2010<br /><br />Claude H Oliver II<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-gotta-get-outta-here/
