"Life is like a round of golf, with many a twist and turn.
But the game is much too sweet and short, to curse the shots you've missed.
Sometimes you'll hit it straight and far, sometimes the putts roll true.
But each round has its wayward shots, and troubles to play through.
So always swing with courage no matter what the lie.
And never let the hazards destroy the joy inside.
And keep a song within your heart, give thanks that you can play.
For the round is much too short and sweet to let it slip away."
