Life of Frustrations

Life is full of all kinds
frustrations all the day long
makes one uptight and edgy
finds you singing a sad song

Somebody may say a wrong word
puts you on real short fuse
which could spark so easy
wish could tell life please excuse

The worst is that awful temper
that simmers there deep below
even when you think it's licked
it rises up to tell you no

I'll frustrate you continually
Mr temper whispers in your ear
you are under my constant control
this battle causes many a tear

On my knees often to pray
seeking deliverance is the cry
may this victory be won
someday before I do die

(just a few thoughts on some of the frustrations of life and the effects that they can have on all of us.)
