Strike While the iron Is hot. Cheers While we have Wine to drink Speak out aloud While our throats Are not cut yet Keep eyes open while The butterfly passes In sight. Wait While the best Is yet to come Water the flower While it is still Fresh & tender Reserve a seat Up in heaven While the dream Continues. Take The Way, & feel Happy while Our hearts beat With hope
