Life's Trials

Listen to poem:
The world tries to wear you down and use you up. Just look it in the eye, don't let it sell you a pup. adversity is sent to try even the bravest man alive with tests of courage and trials of mind if it breaks you, keep in mind That even broken crayons still colour fine. So stand up tall and speak with pride no man or woman deserves to fail so remember to grit your teeth and flash a smile and flick two fingers at lifes trials
