Its Life 

If your plans go wrong, as they sometimes will,
And the hours seem long as you climb the hill;
Remember, my friend, ’tis a part you play.
You’ll find in the end a brighter day.
It’s life.

If a heart grows cold that was warmed just for you.
And a friend you hold to be staunch and true
Has faithless turned, take heart, my friend,
‘Tis a lesson learned. With a bitter end.
It’s life.

You may win great fame and wealth today;
Or taste of shame and deep dismay.
You may lose or gain, may rise or fall,
Both joy and pain must come to all.
It’s life.

For every smile, there is a tear.
For every mile, both hope and fear;
When some are glad, some must be sad.
Along our way, we encounter both good and bad.
It’s life.

Whatever may be your share of woe,
The next day, you may see me come to know
A joyful heart and perfect rest;
So play your part and do your best.
It’s life.

Blessings, my dear friends.
