Life
Life is full of ups and downs.
Sometimes it spends you around and around.
Good things happen and often bad.
Lives makes you happy and also sad.
Strength comes from trials and tribulation.
Long suffering builds up people and nations.
Life brings family and friends together.
It can also separate them forever.
Life is short and then you must die.
Scientist and philosophers can't explain why.
Sometimes heartache overwhelms the soul.
That is when life seems so cold.
Some find strength from a higher power.
Some live day by day hour by hour.
Life is what you make it some might say.
But struggle to survive day by day.
However you can just survive.
We only have one chance to live our lives.
