Life Happens


Because bad things happen And then life gets hard Hope is lost along the way But you must hold on Because giving up is not an option And failure means defeat You do it for yourself But know that other people depend Because the struggle of the ones before you will not go in vain Because in the middle of what resembles defeat Always appears hope And even when it’s small it is enough Enough to remind us that with the bad comes the good And nothing in life worth having comes easy
