Lazy and Selfish

When you only live for yourself 

You aren't really very much help 

You just want to be lazy 

Your life flies by all hazy 

All your days are swallowed up in sleep 

Not many friends can you keep 

"When is my next nap?" You may say

"Nothing else to do today

Just sleep this life away"

But why not be less selfish? 

Others need your time too 

Why lay down and look so blue?

Your life could benefit someone 

Or do you feel like you are done?

"I am old already" you say

But maybe if you would just pray 

Your zest for life will return 

You will no longer feel that burn 

Of guilt from sleeping your life away

Get up and do a great thing today
