Just Presently, I Find That I'M Alive

Just presently, I find that I'm alive,
And find that living's better than the grave...
Behold!  I am!  The Servant seeks to strive,
And knows that daily living tests the Brave!

Quite true, we are continually tested and we must and should face these tests, with strength, faith and love and courage. Very enjoyable verse and so true! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

It is in the little daily tests, that the Mensch is made. (Mensch is Yiddish for a Real Person). Thanks for your good words!

There is nothing more difficult sometimes than good old-fashioned daily living, that is for sure, Andrew. Nice one!
