Life

We have to take some risks
To do some things in life;
We have to do some things,
Despite the added strife!

We have to weigh the risks
To benefits in each;
We can’t do things in haste
For aims in life to reach.

We cannot waste our time
God-given, precious-most;
Time is the same to all
To labor or is lost.

For everything in life,
We ought to make a start;
There is so much to do
Before we can depart.

A lazy-bone is one
Who never can find time;
We have to work all life
In any type of clime.

True greatness comes to few
Who struggle right from birth;
No one is born just great
But makes it upon earth!
