                                 September  19,  1972

                 Each  day  I  live,
                 I  want  to  be
                 a  day  to  give
                 the  best  of  me.

                 I’m  only  one,
                 but  not  alone;
                 my  finest  day
                 is  yet  unknown.

                 I  broke  my  heart
                 for  every  gain;
                 to  taste  the  sweet
                 I  faced  the  pain.
                 I  rise  and  fall,
                 yet  through  it  all
                 this  much  remains

                 I  live  to  be
                 the  very  best;
                 I  want  it  all,
                 no  time  for  less.
                 I’ve  laid  the  plans  —
                 now  lay  the  chance
                 here  in  my  hands  .  .
                                                            So  far  as  a  man  thinks,
                 I  want  one  moment  in  time             he  is  FREE.
                 when  I’m  more  than  I  thought  I  could  be,                              K LA A
                                                                              Emerson
                 when  all  of  my  dreams  are  a  heartbeat  away,
                 and  the  answers  are  all  up  to  me.
                 Give  me  one  moment  in  time             It’s  Kim,not  Kimberly,and  it’s  time  to  play  crazy  .  .  take  it
                 when  I’m  racing  with  destiny;           while it’s hot  .  Bayside on Friday nights (the guy in the black

                                                            Life’s  not  worth  a  damn
                                                            if  you  can’t  say  —
        If  I  leave  here  tomorrow                        “Hey  world,  I  am  what  1  am!”
        will  you  still  remember  me?                                                                    unknown
        For  I  must  be  traveling  on  now;
        there  are  so  many  places  I  got  to  see.

        And  if  I  stay  here  with  you  now,
                                                             far  beneath  the  bitter  snow,
        things  just  wouldn’t  be  the  same,
                                                             lies  the  seed  that  with  the  sun’s  love
         ’cause  I’m  as  free  as  a  bird  now,
                                                             in  the  spring   becomes  .   The  Rose.
        and  this  bird  will  NEVER  change.                                                           Bette  Midler
