As You Walk Through This Life

What is it you gain from day to day,
have you learned the power of choice,
experiences lived in your own way
that you have come to voice ?

There is much that you can glean
if you only take the time.
Life can turn from a broken song
to one of a beautiful rhyme.

Don't despair of things you go through,
 their is always an escape for you.
See every day as a start that is new,
 in time you'll even change your view.

Character built, the obtainable goal
and it's built as you walk through this life.
Walk toward the things that enlighten your soul
and walk clear of such things as bring strife.
