Life's Trial and Tribulations

Walking down the hallway, Seeing all the doorways, And all the choices in life, Making it difficult to choose, The right room from the rest, Bringing you the wisdom and truth, For the imperfection that's within us all, Which makes us crawl at times, On our knees and our hands, To discover what is right and survive, In life as long as we can and accept, What life brings us all in our hearts, Which we patiently accept as pleasures, And sacrifices as pains much in our lives, To correct our flaws, Which causes our struggles, Till we can open our eyes, And see what we have and believe, That our life is greater than we ever know, Cause God created it for us all, But our choices are ours to make, To find the happiness which is, Ours to be kept.
