Facing the challanges of every day life can be very daunting, yet somehow we all seem to come through with flying colors and determination.

DETERMINATION.

You work all day

And most of the night

You struggle and strive

But you won’t give in

Without putting up

A damm good fight.

Life’s ups and downs

Make you wonder

What the heck it’s all about.

From sunup to sundown

You put the hours in

Busting yourself to make ends meet -

You rise, you fall and rise again

And never quite sure

Where to start and begin again.

You apply yourself to every task

With raw will power and determination

Asking again is it all worthwhile

Trying to decide if you’ve got -

The bull by the horns or tail.

Then someone comes along

And gives you a smile

Your spirits soar, you feel refreshed

And somehow you feel

You’ve been mightly blessed.
