Adversity

If adversity gets the better of you

don't over your mistakes chew

hope for a better tomorrow

today you must weather the sorrow

Each challenge is a lesson learnt

we've all had our fingers burnt

we must the bad times swallow

and try not too long to wallow

It's not a sprint but a marathon

Olympic runners our own light shone

our own path we must follow

don't let your words ring hollow

Walk your own path

then you can own the aftermath

whatever will be will be

but at least the choice was made by thee

Enjoy each precious moment

whether joy or torment

don't let your views be shallow

to everyone a smile and hello
