Life Can Be Very Hard
Life can be very hard and a struggle,
That one may want to succumb to defeat.
There are many things one has to juggle;
It is extremely tough to make ends meet.
I've learned to view life with a new lens,
I started seeing my blessings each day.
When I felt overwhelmed, I called my friends,
Hardships may come; however, they don't stay.
Lessons can be learned in every new trial,
Like not spending money on frivolous things.
Taking each challenge in stride and a smile.
Embrace love, find shelter under her wings.
Let love be your guide as your face life’s test,
So you can have a winning attitude.
In hard times, remember you're on a quest,
To find zest for life, with much gratitude.
Life is a good opponent, makes one tough,
Round by round, you get stronger and stronger.
A fighter is born when you've had enough.
You're not bothered if the bout lasts longer
Struggles are apart of this thing called life,
They allow us to have tough skin and win.
One’s standing tall in the midst of much strife,
Because they tapped into their strength within.
