 Life can put beauty ~ in the things that you see ...

 Life can be hurtful ~ and not always fair...
 Life can surround you ~ with people who care ...
 Life clearly does offer ~ its Up and its Downs...
 Life's days can bring you ~ both smiles and frowns...
 Life teaches us to take ~ the good with the bad...

 Take the Life that you have ~ and give it your best...
 Think positive be happy ~ let God do the rest...
 Take the challenges that life ~ has laid at your feet...
 Take pride and be thankful ~ for each one you meet...
 To yourself give forgiveness ~ if you stumble and fall...
 Take each day that is dealt you ~ and give it your all...
 Take the love that you're given ~ and return it with care...
 Have faith that when needed ~ it will always be there...
 Take time to find the beauty ~ in the things that you see...
 Take life's simple pleasures ~ let them set your heart free...
 The idea here is simply ~ to even the score
 As you are met and faced with ~ Life's Tug of War.
