Commanding the Lighthouse

Life is what we make it
and this I know holds true
We strive to reach our many goals
yet only reach a few

Though we cannot have it all
nor taste all of lifes treasures
Doesn't mean we should give up
nor alter our endeavors

Some become like statues
let love just pass them by
They blame their fate on destiny
they never even try

Life may deal some cards to us
that are hard to play
We might not have the ace of hearts
much to our dismay

Yet giving up and letting go
of the options life supplies
Is like staying on a sinking ship
when another passes by

We can't control the outcome
of the choices that we make
But we have more direction
by the chances that we take

Yes life is what we make it
we have tremendous power
The choice to drift as helpless buoys
or command the lighthouse tower
