Thats Life

A hostage to fortune, a throw of the dice Your confidence blind as you skate on thin ice The plans that made that you think cannot fail Are full of ambition yet decidedly frail Life’s so unpredictable, full of surprise The sworn promises given turned out to be lies The anger you feel at the hands of a cheat Dreams are in tatters you thought were complete Your shattered that life should put you to the test When all of the time you were doing your best You now start to wonder just how you will cope Life undermines all but it can’t defeat hope So never give up, whilst there’s sun in the sky Stare the adversity straight in the eye Face up to your demons ignore all the dread Tomorrow, plain sailing so full steam ahead
