IF LIFE WAS EASY

 

IF LIFE WAS EASY

 

 

 

If life was easy how would we know when we’d had success, improved on yesterday or been truly blessed?

 

Life is hard for a reason, and all tribulations must be firmly addressed

 

We are put on this earth to learn wisdom, and for some it’s a terrible test

 

Trials and worries are sent to teach us, so think hard when you’re sad and depressed

 

When others appear to be blooming, keep your envy close to your chest

 

As jealousy will burn and deceive you, churning anger and bitterness in your breast

 

Be happy for others who are achieving, they may not always be so fortunately blessed

 

And when things become too overwhelming, try not to sigh sadly and protest

 

We all have our skeletons and demons, and fear can make you ill and obsessed

 

Each new day is a gift and a blessing, not to be treated as an ill-advised contest

 

So start each day with thanksgiving, be happy and full of new zest

 

Be grateful for each hardship you suffer, when it’s over let your joy be expressed

 

And take time for your rest, play and pleasure and begin each morning refreshed

 

Because if life was easy, how would we know when we’d had success, improved on yesterday or been truly blessed?
