Life too is

Difficulty and trial,
Throng us all the while.
As we try to live this life,
Despite its strife.
Trail and difficulty,
What could possible be,
The reasons we must persevere?
Why must we cry tears?
There is more than this sting,
Life is a blessing,
There is also too peace and joy,
And fair thing with which to employ,
Our minds and hearts and souls,
We need not be shipwrecked upon the shoals,
Of doubt and despair,
Life too is fair!
See the beauty all around,
Flowers springing from the ground.
Birds singing in the sky,
As they swiftly winging fly.
Life teeming all around,
Our hearts beating to the sound,
Of the pulse of the makers heart,
This world was his flawless art.
And though it has been corrupted,
His blessings have not been interrupted.
Life is good, life is great,
And the reason we must bear this weight,
Is to become strong,
That we might help right wrong.
And help those we love,
Our fellow children of father above.
