Endless List of Possiblities
To all the things you can do,
and all the things that are new.
There’s an endless list of possibilities.
All the things that are fun,
to all the joys that with life come.
It’s an endless list of possibilities.
So many things left to be studied,
so many unique people the world is in need.
There is an endless list of possibilities.
All the books you could write,
all the inventions you could bring to light.
It’s an endless list of possibilities.
All the food you haven’t eaten,
all the people you haven’t met,
all the countries you haven’t been
all the places you haven’t seen.
It’s an endless list of possibilities.
There’s so much left to see, left to do,
don’t confine yourself to where you are, stand up and grow
For there is, and always will be,
An endless list of possibilities

Be a flower in the garden of humanity. Be unique, be yourself, stand together, don’t care for looks, because that’s not which will differentiate you from the others or make the others differentiate from you. We all started from seeds yet grow to be unique. You’re a flower seed so live up to it to become a flower. Don’t let go of it, or you’ll stay a seed.
