The Wild Ride

Life is a wild ride
It will whip you around from side to side
Take you and drop you from way up high
But also give you the feeling as though you can fly
The adrenaline rush is like no other
Making you speechless at times or maybe even stutter
There is no greater ride to take
The decision is so easy to make
So then why do so many of us skip this ride?
Don’t you want to be able to say, “At least I tried”?
Too many people are scared of the drops
Or scared of being so high up that their ear pops
Some people are impatient and don’t want to...

How To Climb a Mountain

You look up and see it reach into the sky
You think to yourself, “There’s a chance I might die.”
“How will I ever do this?!,” you shout
As your mind tries to fight off the doubt
There will be snow and there will be rain
There will certainly be moments of intense pain
But you know when you reach the top and stand tall
It’s going to have been worth it all
You look around to make sure you have all your tools
And all your papers that have all the rules
“You have to do this first” and “make sure you do it like that”
Who knew the rulebook would be this fat?
You look around and see there’s a crowd...

Where Is The Love?

Where did all the hate come from? 
Don’t we know that hate makes the heart numb? 
What happened to the love? 
A world with peace is what I’m thinking of 
Why do we feel the need to fight? 
Even when we know the other side is right? 
What happened to simple human decency? 
Negativity is winning the battle, can’t you see? 
Our minds have been clouded by things that don’t matter 
And the hate around our hearts has grown fatter and fatter 
When will it end, is what I want to know 
I think we’ve all grown tired of this unentertaining show 
Why are we so caught up in...

Greatness

You were meant to be great
Born into this world with a simple fate
To leave it as a much better place
And to teach it how to have a smile on its face
To bring a positive change to this negative time
To look at the mountain and teach the world how to climb
Your journey was never meant to be easy
Facts are facts, it doesn’t matter if it sounds cheesy
Before you succeed, you will have to suffer
This is how all the great ones get tougher
With every failure remember who you were meant to be
Use it as motivation to grow your inner tree
And with every branch that forms, your heart will...

Hard Work

Nothing worth doing is ever easy 
No one said the way to the top wouldn’t be breezy 
There’s no such thing as an overnight success 
So why do we expect more, from less? 
There is no substitute for good old fashioned hard work 
But still people try and walk around it with failed footwork 
Where there’s a will, there’s a way 
All these things people really do say 
But take the time to learn where the lessons come from 
And remember that a word from the wise is never dumb 
You have to really want it if you want to succeed 
In Life, hard work is one of the few things you’ll always need 
Hard work is what pushes you when the...
