Mistakes are made every day,
why does it seem that only i pay.
I look at my life down in the gutter,
look at who i have become and i shutter!
What is the saying life goes on,
who are they trying to con?
When life gets you down,
and all you can do is frown,
Life stops moving for you,
there is nothing you can do.
You dont get anything for free, pay your toll
then maybe you will reach that goal.
Think about the future, sure
i cant handle the present, but that is the cure.
Push the past as far away as you can,
Yes this is our new plan.
Smile and walk around like a clown,
when there you are slipping down,
and down into the deep hole.
Now what about that goal?

To push things 'down' is not the way
Accept it all with style and grace
And put that smile back on your face
And thank the Lord for each new day!

Try counting blessings one by one  
The mind is such a funny thing
You'll find a happy tune you'll sing
At end of day if this you've done!
                  
Great poem! Chin up! The good and bad are both necessary parts of life! Learn from the bad and enjoy the good!

The future when today is hard enough?  Nope, just one day at a time! Only way to go!

Where there is faith,
there is love.
Where there is love,
there is peace.
Where there is peace,
there is GOD.
Where there is GOD,
there is no need.
