The Course of Life


Thinking your life is right on track,

Then a sharp turn sends you spinning off course

Slowly and steadily you move back to where you left off

As things get back into place,

You decide to take e a short cut.

That short cut doesn’t seem so short,

 When you have to slow down,

Because of the bumps on the road.

Sometimes you may get stuck in a hole

And have to push yourself out.

If you are lucky you’ll have friends,

To help you out of situations like this.

There is no way to dodge all bad situations.

You may dodge some, but certainly not all.

It’s all just part of The Course of Life.
