Walk tall
my friend, smile at
the world with confidence,
if you stumble get up and run,
forwards.

Never
give up for life?s
an obstacle race, set
with difficulties and over
too soon.

Enjoy
every moment,
glance quickly at sadness
but linger and dwell on laughter,
smiling.

March on
together in
close camaraderie,
life is an adventure with gifts for all.

J.M. Lewis October 2006
