Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday,

Is a day to be wild and silly.

It is a day with an awesome theme.

And that theme is to Celebrate.

For tomorrow you may not be able.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone.

Each and every day should be celebrated as a gift

Because it is a gift.

Each morning we awaken.

Each morning we breathe.

Each morning we are aware

That we are alive.

And that gives us hope,

Regardless of our current situation.

Where there is Life

There is hope.

And where this is hope
Joy is the potential.

Mardi Gras is filled with hope

And it is filled with joy

In the immediate present,
Right NOW!

Ever reminding us
That everything is temporary.

Imagine how powerful that is.

With each breath

And each moment that we are alive,

We have an opportunity to enhance the planet.

A smile is all that it takes.

A smile fills our energy with joy.

We have the opportunity to beam

Our inner light out to the world.

A watch that joyful energy grow

And make the world a better place

For you and me

And all earthlings.
