GoingThroughSomething

A friend told me, "I can tell you must be going through something."

Yes,
I'm going through the Den!


Just joking,
nothing but
fun poking.


Anyway,
my friend was right,
I am in a fight,
I'm going
through


LIFE


Life is enough,
at times it's really rough.
After all the years,
life still has its fears,
at times its tears.


I'm a seasoned veteran in the game,
still the game moves toward check,
trying to checkmate.
The master chess player,
hard to beat on the board.
Counteracts every move you make,
covers his play in shadow,
think you got a win,
out jumps a knight,
capture the knight,
a rook will have
you in sight.


So many traps of play,
just waiting to mess up a day,
ruin a life,
then there's the Samuri knife,
sharp and cunning,
have your behind running.


Even a master in wisdom,
has to watch his kingdom,
blink an eye,
it might be bye bye.


Grasshopper.

You are right, my friend..
God gives us obstacles to block our
path..but YOU are STRONG , Grady.
I believe in you. You can and will
overcome.
