It's Up to YOU -- Make a Memory

     Make a memory, do something special, 
     Leave the dust upon the shelf;
     Ignore that broom, stash the dishes,
          Take some time just for yourself.

   All too quickly time is passing, 
   Turn on your creativity;
   Find a new and different adventure
          Then seize your opportunity.

   Avoid the timid or halfhearted, 
   Plunge right in with all our zest; 
   Life is to be lived and enjoyed,
          With enthusiasm do your best.

   Each day is a gift from God,
   Be wise as you fulfill your duty; 
   Plan ahead for the essentials,
          But schedule in some beauty.

   Why sit around, moan, and complain? 
   Go ahead, design an exciting scheme; 
   Make a memory for your treasure,
          You can activate your dream !
