Attitude

"Your Own Way"
by Wes Fessler

When every will and thrill has gone,
you have to change or just move on.
You cannot live without your heart.
For what is life, to play a part?
When you don't have a joke to tell,
and all you do is scream and yell,
you need to step aside and see
your life the way it ought to be.
Are things worth getting stressed about;
worth causing you to wail and pout?
Weigh every loss against each gain.
Don't let each day be full of pain.
You have to do what you enjoy,
for in repression there's no joy.
So seek your dreams where they may go,
and when you catch them, you will know.
The will and thrill will come again.
You'll find your happiness and then
your heart will be in all you do.
You may just tell a joke or two.
Do what it takes, don't waste away.
Give life your best in your own way.
