Live your life and value each moment <br />As the bell chimes, reach for beautiful things <br />May the years be filled with joy and laughter <br />Wrapped in the magic that romance brings. <br /> <br />Keep to the pathway of kindness and truth <br />And build a dwelling-place fit for a king <br />Be proud of those feelings of ecstasy <br />As you write love songs for sopranos to sing. <br /> <br />Serve well your country right to the end <br />And spread love and hope ~ not gloom <br />Helping the elderly in their distress <br />Then on wings you'll ascend to the moon.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-life-on-wings/
