My time on earth is limited. If I spend my life looking over my shoulder, I will never see what lies ahead. If I take the people in my life and every breath for granted, I will not make an impact in others' lives. I should to live like I'm dying, because one day, I will be.

I'm sorry for the person I became, I have died so little today, friend, forgive me. I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change, We can only waste ourselves and these years of unspeakable misery, and unpardonable crime I'm ready to make sure I never become that way again, Happy those who daily come to life, 'Cause who I am hates who I've been .

Time for me to make it last I won't look back to regret yesterday Those for the past, tomorrow they'll have hell to pay Don't let the past steal your present, For there is no distance on this earth as far away as yesterday. And if your life is going by too fast It's time for you to slow down.

A man casts off his years, So use these pleasures with great temperance. The sky is less grand as it shuts down, And every heart vibrates to that iron string. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, <span style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia,serif;">It loves not realities and creators, <span style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia,serif;">But names and customs.

<span style="color: #003399; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I must leave my past behind <span style="color: #003399; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">To accept others where they are, <span style="color: #003399; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Free my mind and the rest will follow. <span style="color: #003399; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">My pasts haunt me, <span style="color: #003399; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">But I won’t look back. <span style="color: #003399; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm trying to leave myself behind, <span style="color: #003399; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And I wish that I had tried.

<span style="color: #8d6725; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 110%;">Regret is a slippery slope, <span style="color: #8d6725; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 110%;">And I'm not rolling down it. <span style="color: #8d6725; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 110%;">I've made my choice, <span style="color: #8d6725; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 110%;">I'm standing out. <span style="color: #8d6725; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 110%;">And I hope you get the chance <span style="color: #8d6725; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 110%;">To live like you were dying.

<span style="color: #2e97b2; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Truth, sincerity, and integrity are of the utmost importance to the felicity of life, <span style="color: #2e97b2; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So let all my things have their places <span style="color: #2e97b2; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I believe in you my soul <span style="color: #2e97b2; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It coaxes me to the vapor and the dusk, <span style="color: #2e97b2; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All but name, the master of my own actions

I have risen to a degree of determination which commands respect

<span style="color: #2411b0; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Death approaches; and the shadow which foreruns him has thrown <span style="color: #2411b0; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">A softening influence over my spirit, <span style="color: #2411b0; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And I'm hopeful <span style="color: #2411b0; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'll embrace the power of personal growth <span style="color: #2411b0; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And live for today. <span style="color: #2411b0; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">There's nothing you can say that will stop me, <span style="color: #2411b0; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm leaving the past behind. =<span style="color: #2411b0; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I take things for granted or take them with gratitude, = <span style="color: #2411b0; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">So loss cannot befall me.
