Taking Things In My Stride

The things that get thrown at us throughout all our life All sent to try us and test us with some strife Things knock us all, it seems from side to side It’s a good job I learnt early to take things in my stride It’s a good job I have long legs, that much I can say They come in handy when needed, for getting right away So many things sent to stop me, they all have really tried Good job I learnt to early take things in my stride. Time and again the battle can sometimes seem over bearing Long legs are a good thing, with the trainers I am wearing. When thing get too much, one wants to run far and wide Good job I learnt early to take it in my stride Trainers are running shoes for those that do not understand.

I'm back again,,, was only here 4 month ago,,but a poem that tends to linger, giving the reader food for thought, i don't really think anything could stop you in your (trainers) Tracks, taking things in your stride..i do like this..again you seem to be so unique in some aspects...
