Life's Tug Of War

Life can seem ungrateful ~ and not always kind.

Life can pull at your heartstrings ~ and play with your mind.

Life can be blissful ~ and happy and free.

Life can put beauty ~ in the things that you see.

Life can place challenges ~ right at your feet.

Life can make good ~ of the hardships that we meet.

Life can overwhelm you ~ and make your head spin.

Life can reward those ~ determined to win.

Life can be hurtful ~ and not always fair.

Life can surround you ~ with people who care.

Life clearly does offer ~ its ups and downs.

Life's days can bring you ~ both smiles and frowns.

Life teaches us to take ~ the good with the bad.

Life is a mixture ~ of happy and sad.

So....

Take the life that you have ~ and give it your best.

Think positive, be happy ~ let God do the rest.

Take the challenges ~ that life has laid at your feet.

Take pride and be thankful ~ for each one you meet.

To yourself give forgiveness ~ if you stumble and fall.

Take each day that is dealt you ~ and give it your all.

Take the love that you're given ~ and return it with care.

Have faith that when needed ~ it will always be there.

Take time to find the beauty ~ in the things that you see.

Take life's simple pleasures ~ let them set your heart free.

The idea here is simply ~ to even the score.

As you are met and faced with ~ Life's Tug Of War.
