Trial and Error

We're tested and tried every day of our life.
How we handle changes, struggle and strife.
What have we learned, how did we grow?
Are questions we ask, that we want to know.

We meet lots of people while traveling this road.
Who help us to carry some of our load.
When we make mistakes our mind tells us to slow down.
These are learning techniques - no need to frown.

Situations are thrown at us from the time that we are born.
We have to take it all in stride and not to scorn.
Trudging along slowly - this life to get through.
Seeking happiness and positivity in all that we do.

We take two steps forward and then three back.
Where do we then pick up the slack?
Now these questions are raised - answers to find.
Whether they be in our heart or in our mind.
