Live life like there's no tomorrow,  
Cast aside regret and sorrow.  
In every moment, make it count,  
Climb each hill, scale every mount.  

Hold your loved ones close and dear,  
Speak your heart, dismiss your fear.  
Chase your dreams with all your might,  
Fill each day with love and light.  

For time is fleeting, that we know,  
Like rivers fast, it comes and goes.  
So live today, both bold and free,  
And let your heart in joy decree.  

No tomorrow's ever guaranteed,  
So plant today each hopeful seed.  
In every breath, in every hour,  
Live life full, and feel its power.

Be kind, for every heart you meet,  
Is carrying a weight unseen,  
With tender words and steady hands,  
You help them feel serene.  

Be bold, when shadows cloud the sky,  
And courage feels so small,  
Stand firm in love, with eyes that shine,  
And answer every call.  

Be light, where darkness lingers long,  
Be warmth, where coldness reigns,  
A beacon in the night you’ll be,  
Through joy, through tears, through pain.  

Be kind. Be bold. Be light always,  
And watch the world transform.

Give someone a dose of encouragement today,  
As you travel along life’s winding highway.  
It may be just the medicine they need,  
To lift their heart as silently they plead.

Just a word can turn a life around,  
Steer their ship from running aground.  
A gentle nudge, a kind, caring phrase,  
Could brighten their darkest of days.

A new course charted with hope's gentle sway,  
Changing a life in a wonderful way.  
So offer that spark, let it shine bright,  
Encouragement can be someone’s guiding light.

Stairs to the stars of the future gleam,  
Built by the ones who once dared to dream.  
Their hands, though worn, laid each stone,  
A foundation of love, where seeds were sown.

They gave their strength, their tears, their days,  
To pave the path through winding ways.  
Sacrifices made in the quiet night,  
So you could rise and reach new heights.

The stars you seek, so distant and bright,  
Are lit by those who gave you their light.  
Their love, their hope, their guiding hand,  
Built the stairs on which you stand.

So as you climb, look back and see,  
The love that shaped your destiny.  
For the future’s stars are never far,  
When you rise on the wings of those who are.

A faith that can't be tested can't be trusted,  
In the calm, it may seem strong and well-adjusted,  
But when the storms of life come rushing in,  
It falters, weakens, questioning within.

For faith must walk through fire, face the night,  
Endure the shadows, yet still seek the light.  
It’s in the trials, the moments of despair,  
That faith grows roots, finds strength in prayer.

When tested, faith becomes refined and pure,  
No longer fragile, but steadfast and sure.  
A faith that’s trusted is one that has endured,  
For through the trials, God’s love is secured.

Live like Jesus, pure and kind,  
With His heart and His mind.  
Walk the path He showed with grace,  
Reflect His love in every space.  

Love like Jesus, deeply true,  
In all you say and all you do.  
Reach out to others, hand in hand,  
A light of hope across the land.  

Lead others to Jesus, share His way,  
Through gentle words and how you pray.  
Let your life be a shining guide,  
That brings lost souls to His side.  

Live, love, and lead as He commands,  
Trusting fully in His plans.  
For in His footsteps, peace you'll find,  
And draw more hearts to the divine.

In happy hours, praise Him high,  
Let joy-filled songs reach the sky.  
For every blessing, every grace,  
Lift your voice, seek His face.

In difficult hours, seek His light,  
When shadows fall, and day turns night.  
In every trial, in every test,  
Find your solace in His rest.

In quiet hours, work for Him,  
In silent moments, keep your vim.  
With gentle hands and steady heart,  
Do His work, play your part.

In painful hours, trust His plan,  
When the road is rough, yet take your stand.  
For every tear, He holds you near,  
In His love, dispel all fear.

In every moment, thank Him true,  
For all the good He's given you.  
In each breath, and every prayer,  
Know He's with you, always there.

When I see my neighbor, I sometimes compare,  
Judging his actions, though it’s not my affair.  
But deep in my heart, I know what’s true,  
I should not judge, but love like You.  

Help me to be more like Jesus above,  
Who came not to condemn, but to offer love.  
He walked among sinners, yet did not scorn,  
For His Father, God, is Love, from whom grace is born.  

Let me see with eyes that care,  
And a heart that’s willing to share,  
For in loving others, I find my way,  
To live like Jesus, day by day.  

So when I see my neighbor, let judgment cease,  
And may love and kindness increase.  
For God is Love, this truth I know,  
And in His love, my soul will grow.
