Giving In Can Be Wrong

The pain is real enough

Throughout we must be tough

Life deals with us this way

For some is all play, play, play!

For us it's find a way

To achieve a better day

The rolling hills of life

Down and up; two different sides!

Stress and strain purely to survive

Fragile minds - nowhere to hide

Together with hope and strength we find a way

To live our life a better way.
