Jerry T Curtis Poet Rhyme

That's Life I Guess

Every time I take a step
Another stair, I'm given
Challenge after challenge
Is the type of life I'm living 

The smallest thing I choose to do
Becomes a large production
While I remove what's in my way
I find a new obstruction 

It seems that I am fighting 
All the time to make my way
To a place that I can rest
If even, for a day

Yet I fear to end this struggle 
For life itself must cease
So I pray to the Great Land Lord
To please renew my lease

Robert Nehls February 14, 2015 at 3:01 AM Hi Jerry. Ah, life is full of challenges that keep us going and keep everything working. Your rhyming and meter is great and so easy to read. I can certainly appreciate this subject and the last verse is truly a gem. You get a 7 from me on this one, my friend.... Robert.
