Your Life Is Up To You Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

Nobody chooses their parents, or the color of their skin,
One thin you can choose, the attitude, you carry within.

Life will always hand you problems, and bad times too,
If you keep a good attitude, better days will come to you.

Achieve or fail in life, it's a question, you have to choose,
The decisions, and roads you travel, are totally up to you.

Time will pass you by, it won't wait up for you, when obstacles,
Come in your life, believe in yourself, and anything you do.

Always be ready for changes, no one will have the perfect plan,
Doors can open or close, anytime, always accept a helping hand.

Always listen to others, and the thoughts, from their mind,
To succeed in life, accept and share ideas, all of the time.

Know your limitations, before you plan or do,
Tell others involved, and they will respect and trust you.

Never attempt to pass information to others, when the truth,
and knowledge, you don't hold, for if you are tested, their trust,
in you will be let go.

Have patience in this life, each and every day, your energy inside,
will direct you, the right way. 2002 A.D.
