It TakesNerve

Living takes nerve,
nerve with a swerve.
Being flexible,
knowledge digestable.
Choking on the bull,
spitting it out when full.
Tripping down on face,
getting up in disgrace.
Walking on in pride,
after a tuff ride.


Life will throw us,
then grow us.
Almost kill us,
it will certainly thrill us,
maybe confuse us,
never should it beat us.


But it does,
just the way it goes.
Beatings will awake,
we either survive or break.
A broken man,
isn't a beaten man.
He's a man,
making a plan.
A plan of revenge,
to start a winning binge.
On with the show,
or
we don't grow.


G

Powerful write. This is something we all experience, but revenge is the Lord's. We must give it all to Him.

Great tribute to unquenchable spirit within humanity, Grady. Down but not out, when we gather the courage to rise and go on toward our goals.
Best regards,
Leland

This is good Grady...Actually I don't have
enough nerve to get me through this life..
I need God..without my faith in Him I would
be nothing..."we either survive or break."
We must be like the willow tree...it bends
and does not break...it is flexible...great
writing that got me thinking...floria
