"My Philosophy... Of Life"

Life is not a rehearsal.
It's a challenge we all have to meet..
Enjoy yourself, do the best you can.
Each day gone by is not for us to repeat.
Look to this day, for it is life,
The very life of life. In it's brief course lie all
the realities and varieties of existence.
The bliss of growth, The splendour of action,
The glory of power.
For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today, well lived,
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day.


This is a poem I found that my great grandfather wrote. As I hope we all know by know, I have incredible amounts of admiration for this man and I want to be like him in every single way. Even if I did only know him for the first 2 years of my life.
