Don't take life so serious
And the drama it plays out,
These are but fleeting moments
But not what Life's all about!

Think of your life as your school days
Where you are tested and learn,
Aim toward graduation
For Life in fullness you yearn.

No matter what Bad you're facing
See it as but a brief test,
Proving your true Character
Seek always to do your best!

And whatever Good you might see
Don't let it fill you with pride,
Such is Humility's test
To show what you've got inside.

True Reality lies beyond
Once all the testing is o'er,
Temporal things expended
Eternity is in store!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

David, this was so appropo for me today. Needed to read these words. I've been sweating a new computer program at work. Seems rather silly after this. Cheryl
