To live by

Life is beauty, admire it,

Life is bliss, taste it,

Life is a dream, realize it,

Life is a challenge, meet it,

Life is a duty, complete it,

Life is a game, play it,

Life is precious, care for it,

Life is wealth, keep it,

Life is love, enjoy it,

Life is mystery, know it,

Life is a promise, fulfill it,

Life is sorrow, overcome it,

Life is a song, sing it,

Life is a struggle, accept it,

Life is tragedy, confront it,

Life is an adventure, dare it,

Life is happiness, deserve it,

Life is life, defend it.

From St Therese of Lisieux
