~~life; _ It _ Is _ Such_!!

I have felt the warmth of a smile
And also tasted the salt of tears;
Now & then, Every once in a while.
I?ve tried and failed a million times
I stumbled more than I ever walked.
I fumbled each time that I talked.
I have been hurt more than I could dare
I have cried much more than my share.
But I have also found love and laughter,
I've learnt when there is pain, 
Joy comes tumbling after
All along the way I always knew,
That if I wanted it enough, I could too,
Triumph my biggest fears,
If only I got up each time I fell,
If I never gave up trying to speak,
No matter what others tell,
I am not going to be weak.
Because I figured- Life; it is such,
Sometimes it?s a harsh blow,
Sometimes it?s a loving touch.
