Through Life's Clenched Jaw

 Time to time, I'm bound to pass
  through Life's clenched jaw
   as I saw, that's inevitable !
    No body can escape but to be put
     in tight corner --more or less
     even if one fights utmost.
    That's life !
    Path of life is uneven not smooth
    the most ruthless truth.

   In those days, I never pray 
    to be saved in danger ----
     but wish for more strength
      to struggle and win !
      Adverse situations must not ruin me :
     Even if I fall down,
     I'm sure, I must rise up.

        I know sometimes 
       I are put in immense trouble 
       while going through life's clenched jaw
       as if I'm under cutch of devil's paw.
       Yet I don't lose self confidence 
        to control hazards
         having tolerance
        and sufficient patience.

        I don't need any solace
       if when I be put in grief or sorrow
      but pray for courage and competence
       to overcome by tomorrow.

       I proceed dauntless 
       simultaneous being righteous 
       to confront with firm faith
       as I never deviate from truth
        even when going though Life's clenched jaw !
