Blood, Sweat and Tears
Whatever fortune befalls us,
down through all the years,
we all must face the inevitable,
blood, sweat and tears.
Whatever are your bloodlines,
will determine who you are,
regardless of your birth status,
blood will create your star.
And you will bleed,
as time goes by.
No one escapes,
the cuts and scrapes,
as the blood flows freely,
while time tests your I.
And who hasn't felt,
the sweat of the brow,
while hard work builds character,
and garners know-how.
There is nothing wrong,
with hard physical work.
For those that would shirk it,
future pain will lurk.
And who hasn't felt,
the instant coming of tears.
For all that can befall us,
down through the years.
That peak of emotion,
when we think all is lost,
when tears flow freely,
and wash away the cost.
There's no way that anyone,
can escape life's waylaid fears.
For as sure as there is good fortune,
there is blood, sweat and tears.

Ere we be remiss,
let us not forget,
nor fail to remember
two other substances ...
“A spoonful of Sugar helps the medicine go down!”
A sprinkle of Vinegar on salad helps digestion !
