You're Only Old Once

You're only old once

were the words that I read

so I pondered that thought

as I rested in bed

If you're only old once

you should make your days great

not waste them on sadness

not waste them on hate

With a positive attitude

you can keep your heart young

 you can fill it with kindness

to make life more fun

So no more complaining
and don't be a grouch
just get up and dance
 and stay off of that couch

Let's give our best efforts

 and with, age, make a truce

for "You're only old once"

says the great  Dr. Seuss
