Life's too short to dwell on things

that pull and tear on your heart strings

so park those thoughts that make you worry

and create new goals to which you'll hurry.

 

Make your list of things to do

that always seemed not part of you

make yourself explore unknowns

write down your thoughts dig up those bones

 

Take a step toward things that scare you

Show who's boss while mind prepares to

overcome what seems unrealistic

before you lose it and go ballistic

 

Do something different every day

and watch as life shows new pathways

Life's too short to dwell on things

that pull and tear on your heart strings.
