Swim and Live Don'T Give In

8/29/16

Swim
And live
Don't Give 
In

Light or dim
Above and below the rim

Work hard and take care off your kin
Especially when times are grim

The same goes for her and him
We can't always win

As this planet continues to spin
Things blow away in the wind

The hedges got a trim
And the cuttings were put in a bin

Not a fan of hymns
Or any kind of gin

The silver lining was thin
But so much good it did

Went off a whim
And used my all even if i hurt some limbs

At times I have sinned
Washed the dirt off my skin
And spent time outside doing things that were like being at a gym
