Look at you
You made it
You’ve won! The week’s down
Just a few
Things to do
Then go paint the town
Whether out
Or inside
The evening is yours
To do what
You love most
Open up some doors
In your mind
And your heart
What is it you dream?
To make this
Life the best
See it start to gleam
Maybe art:
Write or paint
Singing’s so much fun
Or a date
With a friend
Or a treasured one
Dance a jig
Laugh at life
Feel joy in your stride
Open up
To yourself
Stretch your arms out wide
For this life
Is too short
To spend thoughtlessly
Or dwell on
Your mistakes
Living flawlessly
Be yourself
Through and through
You’re unique, you know
Take this time
For yourself
Make this moment glow
