Life goes by too quickly
Never let it slip away
If you love someone, tell them
Don’t be afraid to let your emotions free
Your eyes sparkle like diamonds
Don’t blink, or everything will change
Be afraid of nothing
Love everything
You caught me by the hand
Having a never ending grip
Don’t blink
Things change to sad
I used to shed tears of joy,
Now I just shed tears
Don’t blink,
Or all your tears will fall . . . .

Today is the Tomorrow you were worrying about Yesterday. The journey of a lifetime begins with one single step. Negativity is the downfall of dreams. It&#039;s not the quantity of friends that matters it&#039;s the quality.
