In each life a little rain must fall,

When it’s our time, The Lord will call.

There’s no guarantee of the time or the hour,

It’s not our choice, we don’t have the power.

In the meantime, be the best we can be,

To live, to love, to laugh and be happy.

No matter what, there is no need for sorrow,

Live for today and Pray for tomorrow.
