Reach For The Stars

Reach for the stars, the old man said

If you're lucky, you'll get to the moon

If all else fails, at least you tried

As your life will pass by soon

So make sure that when your time comes

And you lay upon your bed

You can say with gusto, you did your best

And death you shall not dread

You can rest assured you lived your life

It was the opposite of empty

So when it's memories that you have left

You'll have them by the plenty

For you'll know that when you could

You reached out and grabbed the stars

And did not waste your finite time

For we will surely not waste ours
