Recalculating Our Lives

Like a GPS, we need to recalculate our lives every day As needed, from time to time. We need to walk away From ourselves to do a self-evaluation, to reposition Ourselves. At times, we need to pause, to take action To remain silent, to revise, to review and to examine And re-examine everything here. We need to be lean Like a machine, we need to go over the whole thing We need to step back, express ourselves and to sing We need to recalculate our short lives on earth today Because we're on borrowed time and we must pray We must love, we must charm and must be beautiful We must weep, cry, yell and laugh. Life is wonderful Sometimes, we need to recalculate our lives every day Right now. Like Olga Cadet, one day we will walk away. P.S. Olga Oristel Lévèque Moïse Cadet, we will miss you.
