LIFE IS NEVER COSY, SMOOTH

LIFE IS NEVER COSY, SMOOTH

Life is never cosy, smooth;
Rose is not without a thorn.
To whom heartache is unknown,
Such poet is not yet born.

No revolutionary has
Always been outside a jail.
Happiness is followed by
Unhappiness without fail.

Why bemoan fate saying that
We are the unluckiest?
Sorrow does not spare those who
Are in circumstances best.

Listen my friend, we all should
Live life without a complaint.
There is none in this world whose
Fate is without blame or taint.
