When you think you got it going on
And it has all been figured out
A tap on your shoulder does appear
To let you know you are no way near.
Of knowing life and what it brings
Surprises come along behind the dreams
You can not worry bout tomorrow
So bring on the smile and give up the sorrow.
We have to live life for the moment
And not confide in days to come
Yesterday is gone, and yonder is incomplete
So savor the moment and get rid of defeat.
Terry Shepherd
