PASSION
By Louise Eagle
I promise to live my life with passion
each and every day
And treat those with compassion
that I meet along the way
I’ll soar to heights I never thought
that I would ever reach
And every day, in every way
I’ll practice what I preach
I’ll work as hard as I can stand
but I’ll take some time for me
I’ll smell each rose and watch each sunset
each sunrise that I see
I’ll feel the rain, I’ll face the sun
I’ll open up my heart
I’ll finish every project and each program
that I start
And when the day is over
and twilight comes to stay
I’ll have lived my life with passion
every step of the way!
