The frustration and nerves whirl round and round
Struggling because that answer just can’t be found
Why do we do it
What does it prove
Life should be easy, just flowing along
Sometimes it feels like failure is my theme song
Again and again - hitting that wall
I get up and then once again fall
I don’t want to be tested
Like in life I’m not invested
But what would life be without any challenges?
Sometimes the good and the bad balances
Perhaps life’s tests are merely opportunities
To strengthen life in our communities
Without challenges how would we grow and learn
We need to rise up to all its twists and turns
Daily tests, big and small help us find ourselves
Making us soul search and question and delve
So those hurdles we have to climb may have a purpose
Maybe the strength they give us somehow serves us
