the survival poem

i used to think when i was young that life would never end

the road was straight and a one way street no hills to climb or bends

I felt like i was indestructable no tackle was to great

then it hit me like a ton of bricks at the age of 38

you live your life to the fullest,run with every dream

for we are indestructable,to us thats what life seems

live it and love it ,dont let madness or sadnees bring you down

for one day you could discover a split second can turn your life around

after the fight is over and you step back into the ring of life

remember what you learnt from it all and get your priorities right

who cares if you dont have what others have,not much you can do

but always remember deep inside the fight that created the new you.

help others who have been through the same and leand a helping hand

be compassionate and supportive through being caring and understand

we are individuals but its funny hows things can make us the same

for life is full of challenges and to being there for others helps feed lifes flame.
