It truly doesn't take a rocket scientist to get this
that life is full of a bit of everything, tears to kiss
Mistletoe, and diamonds, cinderella tales and gore
life is so jam packed, one can hardly ask for more
Just to sit on a porch swing is just like having a fling
and oh my goodness, a piano? why then now you can sing
so many disappointments; one sometimes can't keep up
but then along comes the good news, yes, a shiny gold cup
You had best be believing your goose and hen is in the pot
and you'd better be ecstatic for the few things that you've got
Never underestimate and/or take your 'now' life for granted
you will be confounded when you've finished rave and ranting
Grasp for the details and take the whole spectrum of the overview, too
connect the tears with the laughter, this will connect the dots for you
Life's a bowl of chocalate, oui, and fruit, and fruit flies, too
It's a rich variety of flowers and the dirt that they grew through!

Author notes
Quote 5:
The average life is full of near misses and absolute hits, of great love and small disasters.
It's made up of banana milkshakes, loft insulation, and random shoes.
It's dead ordinary and truly, truly amazing.
What you've got to realise is it's all here now.
So breathe deep and swallow it whole because take it from me, life just whizzes by.
