The True Meaning Of Life
By Pat A. FlemingPublished: July 2017The Years have passed by,
In the blink of an eye,
Moments of sadness,
And joy have flown by.
People I loved,
Have come and have gone,
But the world never stopped,
And we all carried on.
Life wasn't easy,
And the struggles were there,
Filled with times that it mattered,
Times I just didn't care.
I stood on my own,
And I still found my way,
Through some nights filled with tears,
And the dawn of new days.
And now with old age,
It's become very clear,
Things I once found important,
Were not why I was here.
And how many things,
That I managed to buy,
Were never what made me,
Feel better inside.
And the worries and fears,
That plagued me each day,
In the end of it all,
Would just fade away.
But how much I reached out,
To others when needed,
Would be the true measure,
Of how I succeeded.
And how much I shared,
Of my soul and my heart,
Would ultimately be,
What set me apart.
And what's really important,
Is my opinion of me,
And whether or not,
I'm the best I can be.
And how much more kindness,
And love I can show,
Before the Lord tells me,
It's my time to go.
Many of us would agree that Lip Smackers is the one product that best represents being a pre-teen back in the ’90s. These small tubes of scented, colorful, and often glittered lip balm made us all feel like the classiest and most glamorous ladies yet.
We were ready to grab our plastic pink purses, and do everything that ours moms did. When it came to Lip Smackers, we had endless choices, with soft drink scents, fruit scents, and even those filled with glitter.
No matter what you style was, it was the closest thing we had to makeup, and we were all Hollywood stars. Truth be told, Lip Smackers haven’t actually gone anywhere, they can be found in the makeup aisles of Target and Walmart. But chances are that you aren’t buying any. Right?
Something about the product feels too childish for you or something? Well it’s time to give this up, because with the holiday season, it’s the perfect time to get nostalgic and feel like a kid all over again.
Lip Smackers has decided to help all of us kids at heart by introducing an advent calender for Christmas this year. For twelve days, each day will come with a new retro flavor that will bring you right back the ’90s.
