LIFE'S ADVENTURE
 
Life is a great adventure
 Each day a new surprise 
So sweep the cobwebs from your heart 
And open up your eyes 
Sorrow flees the sunlight 
So throw the windows wide 
And watch the brightness flooding in 
Warm everything inside 
 
Life is a great adventure 
For those who would explore
 The road winds upward and the wind 
Taps lightly at the door 
And should this day be cloudy 
No reason to complain
 When trees along the avenues 
Are singing in the rain
 
Life is a great adventure 
Each day that passes by 
A dazzling panaroma 
As broad as it is high 
Beyond all comprehension 
The wonders of the sphere 
When one by one the hours make 
A ladder of the years
 
By Grace E Easley 
 
This is a poem to make us think 
That life is really just an adventure 
We are only here for the ride (journey)
 Then we get to go Home
