Life Keeps Trying to Knock Me Down
Life keeps trying to knock me down,
With problems thrown my way.
It makes me wear a fitful frown,
As blue skies turn to grey.
I've taken knocks all through the years,
But still I battle on.
Pleasures often plagued with fears
Are what I feed upon.
Tarnished dreams still have their place
In this imperfect world.
A smile can still caress my face
When triumph is unfurled.
Two steps forward, one step back,
Is how it often goes.
I compensate for what I lack
By keeping on my toes!
Life keeps trying to knock me down,
And sometimes it succeeds.
But I can take and break that frown
By tempering my needs!
