Regret is Temporary, Suicide is Permanent

Everything happens for a reason;
Without it, life lacks meaning
We're made to fall and stand back up,
Learn from mistakes, then proceed on.

You'll go far with appreciation,
Overcome the bad with determination.
Never cease to live and let die,
Embrace love and soar high.

Regrets and sorrow--leave to the past
Don't focus on what you can't get back.
It's normal to sometimes fall off track
And to accept a helping hand.

When others are in need, reach out.
You never know who has continuous doubt
Flowing through their minds,
On whether or not they should take their own life.

Someone's life could be saved
If you show empathy and compassion.
In turn, we all require
A little distraction;

From our lives and remorse,
Let life run it's course;
Meandering through obstacles
With impeccable force.

Give it time and the benefit of the doubt
You'd be surprised with how quickly things can turn around
Keep looking up
Regardless of how far down

You feel that you've fallen
Because there's only up from here.
Rise -onto your feet and
Above your fears.

Live. Laugh. Love.
Imagine. Dream. Believe.
Never give up on yourself
And life won't give up on thee.
