Another author unknown poem which
should be shared..


Life can seem ungrateful - and not always kind.
Life can pull at your heartstrings - and play with your mind.
Life can be blissful - and happy and free.
Life can put beauty - in the things that you see.
Life can place challenges - right at your feet.
Life can make good - of the hardships that we meet.
Life can overwhelm you - and make your head spin.
Life can reward those - determined to win.
Life can be hurtful - and not always fair.
Life can surround you - with people who care.
Life clearly does offer - its ups and its downs.
Life's days can bring you - both smiles and frowns.
Life teaches us to take - the good with the bad.
Life is a mixture - of happy and sad.

So.....

Take the life that you have - and give it your best.
Think positive, be happy - let God do the rest.
Take the challenges - that life has laid at your feet.
Take pride and be thankful - for each one you meet.
To yourself give forgiveness - if you stumble and fall.
Take each day that is dealt you - and give it your all.
Take the love that you're given - and return it with care.
Have faith that when needed - it will always be there.
Take time to find the beauty - in the things that you see.
Take life's simple pleasures - let them set your heart free.
The idea here is simply - to even the score.
As you are met and faced with - Life's Tug Of War.

Oh this is a great write, full of truth and wisdom. Life does have a way of tugging at us from one extreme to another. But as your beautiful write explains we can be in control by using wisdom and making good choices.
Blessings,
