When Life is Hard
People will complain about that which troubles them
People will wish for a life with less misfortune
People will wonder why they're faced with hardship
And will ask why it is them that alone must suffer.
What people don't realize, however
Is that they have it pretty good
They're not living in the streets
Nor do they go through life never being loved.
And for those who don't have a home
Those that grew up unwanted and alone
They're not battling terminal illnesses
Nor are they incapable of moving how they please.
Because there are people in this world
Who never complain about that which troubles them
That lay on their hospital bed with a smile on their face
Grateful for the days they've been lucky enough to live.
Happy for all of the moments they can have
Be it good times and bad
For every day that they are on Earth
Is reason enough to smile.
Is reason enough to live life when life gets tough.
