Don't Wait

Don't wait for the weather

To be sunny and bright

To enjoy everyday together

Don't wait for the kids to grow

To decide that it's good

To pursue personal goals to grow

Don't wait for your partner or

spouse or parents

To approve of your unique talents

Like to create, write, dance, sing?

dream of traveling the world

Reach behind you for your second wing

Then fly, fly, fly

Reach for those stars

Look to the sky

Take every cliche

And fly, fly, fly

Don't wait for the right time

Or to have enough money

When is the right time?

Now, today, this minute

Tomorrow is not alive

Yesterday is a reel of vignettes

Don't wait to begin living
When everyday we die a little
Embrace what you've been given

Don't wait one more day
One more month or year
Don't wait,  don't wait

Don't wait for anyone to agree
Or to see things as you do
They can't, they are them you see
And you my precious dear, are you

So only you and you alone
Can fill your great potential
Don't wait,  get it done!

Live life to the fullest,
Valerie
