Life is an open book, my friends,
With pages that flip in the breeze.
An unpredictable tale that never ends,
Hiding secrets with effortless ease.
What waits around the corner?
What story is about to start?
Each morning brings a brand new page,
Each dusk, a secret for the heart.
Sometimes the road is straight and wide,
Then suddenly, a sharp, steep bend.
The world turns quickly upside down,
Like a magic trick you can’t comprehend.
Mishaps arrive like uninvited guests,
Just when we think we hold the reins.
We plan our moves, we do our best,
But life has maps for different terrains.
So never take a soul for granted,
For time is a shifting, restless tide.
What’s yours today may be a memory tomorrow,
Leaving only a hollow space inside.
But do not lose your courage, friends,
If you should stumble or you fall.
Get a grip and find your breath again,
Answer the morning’s brand new call.
“Keep going” is the only mantra,
Rise up and face the difficult climb.
Strive to make each moment better,
Walking one day at a time.
Take small steps with steady rhythm,
That is the secret, that is the way.
To find your pace within the chaos,
And build something new from the gray.
And in the end, remember this:
Whatever your dream or your part,
Whether the task is large or small,
Give it the whole of your heart.
When you pour your soul into the work,
Its value begins to shine and grow.
That is the lesson, the beautiful truth,
That life wants us all to know.
For even when the path is strange,
And the “unseen turn” appears,
Life is always teaching us something new,
Through the laughter and the tears.
