LIVE AND LET LIVE

Debbie Middaugh AKA TURBO1904 1963 (San Diego, CA.)



  Life is easier,
if you manage your time.
   If you can't do lock-up,
Don't do the crime.

   You get more done
If you focus on one thing.
   If you miss it,
You can grab it,
 on the upswing.

   Try to improve,
 by 1% every day.
   Don't make excuses,
Never delay.

   Problem solve
with some logic.
Sidestep the
dark magic.

   Keep a high value
Network of friends.
   If you get the chance,
Make amends.

   Be honest and
 always work hard.
   Don't be afraid,
to show your scar.

   Seek and you can
 find your purpose.
   You could be
 the ringleader
of a traveling circus.

   Walk at your
own pace,
Stay on your
 side of the road.
   Sometimes the
Prince can be a toad.

   Don't hesitate
when you
 should act.
   Pay attention,
and you can find
your way back.

   Experience what
 you feel and learn.
   Remember,
You can always
Make A U-Turn.
   
   If it's pouring rain,
 or in a drought.
When you do it,
Make it count.

   If you have it,
Learn to give.
   Last but not least,
Live and let live.
