Why

Why?
Why do I struggle while others float
With never a care or a worry?
Why?
Why am I stuck in a fast filling boat
While they never seem to hurry?
Why?
Why is my life filled with pain
While they float on a breeze?
Why?
Why don’t I experience financial gain
While they dance in the trees?
Today I don’t understand
I only hope there’s a plan
For me.
Why?

Those who breeze through life will struggle mightily later in life. Those of us who struggle throughout are gifted the strength to face even the roughest obstacles. Don't give up. For every sunset there is a sunrise.
