Patience Is Key

Life will always get you down,
The key is to get yourself right back up,
Even when the fog rolls in,
And the rain starts pouring,
Just get out a flashlight,
And an umbrella and keeping going.

When you feel that love will never find you,
Don’t give up,
Just wait,
The right one will come to you,
They could be right in front of you,
All you need to do is open your eyes,

Life always gets worse,
Before it can get better,
Wounds have to hurt,
Before they can heal,
Don’t dwell on the pain,
Just think of when it’s finally gone.

I know life is tough,
And it may seem unfair,
But just push through it all,
Things will change for the good,
They always do,
You just have to be patient.
