“28 More”       Written by Adrienne Slaughter

 

Watching a movie -  to get it off my mind.

Already seen the movie, but will it help?

Closing my eyes, so maybe I’ll be blind -

To the true reality, to what I’ve been dealt.

    

    Yea I’ve been there before - A long time ago.

    Yea - given 28 more.    Die from cancer?   NO.  

 

 They said I shouldn’t have – but I did.

They said I couldn’t have – but I lived.

The odds were against me, but I soared -

To achieve and to be – not less but more.

 

    Yea I’ve been there before - A long time ago.

    Yea - given 28 more.    Die?   No never,  NO.  

 

Some say life is short – but it’s not.

Some say life’s a bore – if so, why not -

Enjoy it ‘til it’s time & never look back.

As the sun rises high, look UP - try to CLAP

    Your hands together with all your friends!

    Smile with pleasure, as life never ends!

    Remember forever – your flame stays a light!

    As nothing’s better – than life, ya gotta fight!

 

I say I should have – and I did. 

Today I can laugh – as I live.

No odds are against me – as I adore

Achieving & being – Not less, but so much more…

 

    Yea I’ve been there before - A long time ago.

    Yea given 28 more.   Live? Yes, forever - ALIVE!
