Lightning never strikes the same place twice, <br />So never pass up a chance worth taking. <br />Try risking your hand and roll the dice, <br />It just may be history on the making. <br /> <br />There's no use in beating a dead horse, <br />You must get on with your life. <br />So you can pass with flying colors, <br />As the pain cuts you like a knife. <br /> <br />The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree, <br />And beauty is in the eye of the beholder. <br />They say the truth shall set you free, <br />And your bravery shall keep you bolder. <br /> <br />They say that you are what you eat, <br />Don't be ashamed to swallow your pride. <br />And if you can't take the heat, <br />Life's going to be a bumpy ride.<br /><br />Jon M.
