Analysis of Strength



Life has a funny and peculiar way
On how it changes from day to day
Everyday is like drawing straws
Things will happen no one imagined or saw
When you dive into something and aren't sure where to go
You're looking around with nothing to show
Just look to the left and look to right
You'll know you can do it you can put up a fight
Some will be weak and some will be strong
But when it's all over you'll know where you belong

Its a great form of release for me - similar to meditation (which I certainly can't do!) Hope you enjoy. more…
