Keep Your Life Vest On

Life is what it is----Full of ups and downs. 
We all get sad and cry---angry and mad.
There are days that bring such darkness.
There are days that shine so bright.  
Some days just getting up, takes all your energy.
Sadness can fill in around--So heavy it can sink a soul.
U Must find something to hang on to…
Keep the head up---keep it above water.
When carrying so much--one becomes physically exhausted.
It is hard to just breathe and keep from sinking.
Sharp things poke you in the ribs, 
Feels like pneumonia is moving in…
Things happen that cause grief and sadness,
It can be felt so deep inside and cut you to the core.
Hang on and ride it out even in the perfect storm...
Things will calm—but until then 
Keep your life vest on…
