passion in spring time,
is something i learnt from emlyn hughes,
the great liverpool soccer player,
whose enthusiasm was contagious.
have zest for all that you do,
avidity for life, love and joy.
we all feel depressed sometimes,
but to bounce back like tigger, is a gift from the gods.
as shankly said,
"lads, if you don't have enthusiasm,
you may as well be dead."
deep words, so profoundly true.
therefore be wholehearted,
in each thing you do,
your enthusiasm will touch other people,
and help keep their spirits high!
