My Philosophy of Life

Dale Demonia a.k.a. MC Lord D

To live is to fly like an eagle

and let your spirit run free

and climbing the highest mountains

and reaching your destiny

and never ever looking back

for you may take a fall

and always praise your almighty God

spreading inspiration wherever you may go,

telling all the people things

what they really need to know

like getting out of the fast lane and taking it slow

life will last a long long time

if we live it slowly in our mind

Life is beautiful it's a gift from God,

that's why we live it softly but not too hard.

To live is to be happy with our heart full of joy

and sometimes living our lives like a fairy story

and always climbing up to the highest height

and working through the day

and making heavenly love at night.

But life does have its ups and downs

that's why we should keep our heads to the sky

and wipe away frowns

and never ever putting anyone down

and live our life proudly like a king wears his crown.

To live is to dream life's most beautiful dreams

like standing on a mountain top like Dr. Martin Luther King

and drinking those fresh waters that runs from a stream.

To live is to enjoy ourself like a child enjoys ice cream

and always lending your fellow man a helping helping hand

and showing all God's children just where you stand.

And remember you are one in a billion like a pebble in the sand.

To live is to love, joy, peace, and caring

and whatever we may do to keep ourselves living free

we should always hod to our dignity.

ps. Ther's one thing we must all remember

that life goes on and on

it locks into all eternity every time a child is born.

Written by me, MC Lord D
