Appreciate

Appreciate by Nicholas Jerry And there's a man dying on the side of the road Won't make it home tonight He was driving fast on his cellular phone That's how he lived his life While he was hanging by a thread These were the final words he said

Chorus: My girl turned sweet sixteen today She's beautiful, so beautiful It might get rough some times But I hope she keeps her faith(hope she keeps her faith) I wish I grabbed the chance to say to her Life is too short, so take the time and appreciate

And there's a woman crying on the kitchen floor She got a call tonight And she's trembling outside her daughters door Walks in and holds her tight Wondering how and where to start Is there a way to shield her heart

Chorus: My girl turned sweet sixteen today She's beautiful, so beautiful It might get rough some times But I hope she keeps her faith(hope she keeps her faith) I wish I grabbed the chance to say to her Life is too short, so take the time and appreciate

Anybody loving will (Loving, loving, loving) Get hurt along the way Don't be afraid to open up (open up, open up) And use the time you have before it fades Show your love today

Chorus: My girl turned sweet sixteen today She's beautiful, so beautiful It might get rough sometimes but I hope she keeps her faith(hope she keeps her faith) I wish I grabbed the chance to say to her Life is too short, so take the time and appreciate(2x) -Ramona Rameshwar

Explanation: The song/poem is about an outsider who is observing something tragic. The song/poem had hope and yet it had defeat. A father is dying because he was driving too fast and he was talking on the phone. I think that meant that the man made a lot of mistakes in his life, but he doesn’t want his daughter to make the same. When the father is dying the only thing he could think about is his daughter who turns sixteen and he doesn’t want her to loose faith. The song/poem is basically telling you that if times get rough you have to keep going and never lose your hope.
