THAT'S LIFE

poem by: Steven Godfrey
Written on Mar 15, 2017


Time goes by and memories fade 
Relationships are built and friendships made
How long they last depends on fate 
Do your best ,  make them great 

For life is short and it runs out quick 
Be alert never miss a trick 
If you do life can be cruel 
Be sure you are nobody's   fool 

Smile and laugh in equal measure 
Make sure those closest you always treasure 
Cry when needed but don't stay down 
Get back up , put on your crown 

Puff out that chest and walk with pride 
Make sure you are on the winning side 
Use you brain and be polite 
And never give up without a fight .
