The Pitfalls of Life
We were never promiosed a life of ease.
Rated:
------
by
Avg Rating: (3)
We were never promised,
A life of ease and comfort,
Nor a sturdy ship of safety,
Docked in a sheltered port.

We've never been granted,
A ticket to a land,
Of sunshine and roses,
Or anything grand.

Every life contains,
A bit of this and that,
Heartache and woe,
We keep under the hat.

We're a strong breed,
We've learned to cope,
Take life as it comes,
And continue to hope.
