Life Bridge

Life at times is fun, but not always
live it as it comes, can't be choosy
a wonderful dream, it doesn't stay
go, drown your woes in the jacuzzi.

Mask the face with calm demeanor
Be courteous, upright despite a raid
It will wither off with time, bit leaner
On troubled waters if bridge is made.

Of this invisible bridge, HE is the boss
prayers, faith are pillars, foundations
courage, patience, handholds to cross
finding solace, matter of tribulations.

Who help themselves may get blessed
troubles may remain for them stressed.
