Life Hurdles

Life is what you make of it but it is also what it makes of you people that face illness can't be blamed for becoming ill can't be blamed for not succeeding and yet their are people with illness crippled and in pain that get an education and become a success Stephen Hawking to mention only one one man see's a problem another man decide's to overcome Eye-sight can hinder the success of a child money can limit the chances you share each of us in this river of life needs love, support and chance's one man is crippled stuck in a chair another learns to dream one man faced with the loss of his legs become's a cripple an invalid for life another win's the olympic's another man with a healthy body will live his life unemployed or spending life in jail yet dig deeper and you find his past alcohol, drugs, money, health all converge to create your life but attitude can build success one man given all the chance's will turn to crime yet another man with no chance will build a better life we can all blame our parents blame poverty blame your skin colour yet thousands of people with these problems have gone on to have better live's
