"Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it."
Ben Franklin


Poem Artwork

 

Have you ever had one of those days?

When nothing is right from morning to night

One of those days that sounds like a Roger Miller song?

One of those days when anything that can, will go wrong?

Not every day can be a winner, you know

Some days will turn out to be just so-so

And some days will be a complete misfortune

And on those days pick the pieces and do what can be done

Learn from your mistakes and keep going and thereby half the race is won

Don’t let life get you down

You were not meant to lie on the ground

If once you fall don’t declare, “That’s all”

Get back up, brush off.  Learn from the event

  Most importantly don’t let it cause you to relent

Live one day at a time, learn from each day and most of all, be content
