I Try



I Try to become a Good Example,
I Try to Live my Life as Simple,
I Try to be a very Dear Friend,
I Try to Succeed but I barely Win.

I Try to Deal with the Ups and Downs,
I Try to have more Smiles then Frowns,
I Try to not be Angry and Mad,
I Try to be more Happy and Glad.

I Try my Best to be Encouraged,
I Try my Best to not be Discouraged,
I Try to Deal with Sorrow and Pain,
I Try to be prepared when they come Again!

I Try to Deal with Tribulations,
I Try to deal with the World today,
I Try to deal with a lot of Confusion,
I try to Believe there’s a Better Way!

I Try to Maintain a Positive Mind,
I Try to be more Pleasant and Kind,
I try to Laugh when I really want to Cry,
I Try to be Truthful rather then to Lie!

I Try to be Beautiful Inside then Out,
Because Beauty is skin deep and that is no Doubt!
I Try to be Joyful then to Hate,
I Try not to be impatient but Learn to Wait!

I Try to be Courageous when I begin to Fear,
I Try to draw Strength when the going gets Tough,
I TRY Because I refuse to give In,
I Try to be Strong when the times are Rough!

But……….

My Trying is just not Good Enough!
