"Every struggle in my life has been a lesson
and made me stronger."
--Constance La France
Life is a shared gift that takes my walk slow.
It's up to us how we live. I hate what I can't fear.
Direct or indirect, I learn to go where I must go.
Life is a roller coaster; we feel, what do we know?
Not aiming to be a mower, my soul trills ear-to-ear.
Life is a shared gift that takes my walk slow.
And bathed roses with tears; who is close to you?
A crop of thorns or roses, bless Earth, hold it dear.
Direct or indirect, I learn to go where I must go.
Light leads trees in struggle; who can tell how?
After fighting trekking, worms rose in loop stair.
Life is a shared gift that takes my walk slow.
Rise, love, smile, and pray: Earth has more show.
Doing our work, don't change us; get some air.
Direct or indirect, I learn to go where I must go.
Struggles shouldn't spoil my day, I know.
Life is beautiful and painful, and loss is near.
Life is a shared gift that takes my walk slow.
Direct or indirect, I learn to go where I must go.
