Array ( [sid] => 127649 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Stand [time] => 2006-10-31 10:41:27 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The bold don't live forever,
but the cautious never live at all.
Try not to be in the latter,
always too scared you'll fall.

Never look back on life
with dismay in your eyes,
and never let the lows
override the slightest highs.

The wars you must fight,
fight them with pride,
and never be something
you feel you must hide.

You gotta learn how to live,
because you can't get it back.
Experience each moment
as if it were fading to black.

Live with great passion.
Sometimes slow, sometimes fast
like there's no tomorrow
because today never lasts.

It will pass you by
like a quick, fleeting breath.
If you live without heart,
you're just existing till death.

To never live at all
is the worst of all shame.
Take this life by the horns,
and ride your best game.

It's the true"Tree of Life"
The only righteous way.
Don't stay stuck to the bench;
find your courage and play.
