The Art Of Living

Love is such a big part
In learning the art of living
It's more than just receiving
It also involves the giving

The willingness to listen
Would go a long long way
If we were more attentive to what was spoken
Than knowing what to say

I like the fact that I can worship
In any way I choose
It's a gift we sometimes take for granted
And often times abuse

Not every country in this world
Has our prosperity
So take the time to thank the Lord
For all our liberties

Always stand up for your values
Not to many people do
We would rather be a follower
Than share our point of view

Right choices are not always easy
You may find yourself alone
But true friends will never leave you
When their actions you condone

Remember to appreciate your children
And the rest of those you love
They were given to you as a gift
From your heavenly father above

Teach them all your wisdom
Give them all your praise
The most important  lesson you can teach
Is to teach them how to pray

This is the art of living
It's possible if we try
Just put our trust in God above
And by his laws abide

To live our lives in harmony
Is what we should pursue
The world would be a better place
If only this we choose
