It takes a hand to wave goodbye,
It takes a tear to learn to cry.
It takes a heart to love and hold dear,
It takes a death to leave you in fear.
It takes a start to find an end,
It takes a push to see a bend.
It takes a fight to compromise.
It takes a liar to tell you lies.
It takes a lot to say I do,
It takes a friend to say I love you.
It takes a lifetime to be alive,
It takes a departure to arrive.
It takes a quest to find a truth,
It takes a childhood to surpass youth.
It takes a hope to live with a smile,
It takes a good day to see it’s worth your while.
But don't wait till death to learn to live!
