Through the years life's been tough.
Broken dreams and homes are rough.
No one said it was going to be easy.
Sometimes it makes me feel so queasy.
Can't get down when life is hard--
must go on when things are marred.
No one said it was going to be easy--
sometimes it makes me feel uneasy.
Through the years much has changed,
so many brothers and sisters were named.
No one said it was going to be easy--
sometimes it makes me feel so dreamy.
Can't believe in all those changes--
lived in so many different places.
No one said that it was going to be easy--
sometimes it makes me feel so crazy.
Through the years so many friends.
How they treat you? It all depends.
No one said it was going to be easy.
Sometimes I feel melancholy.
I'll be glad when this year's over--
gone from this pitiful school forever.
No one said it was going to be easy--
through the years it's been uncanny.

Yes we all have those difficult years, you capture so well in your poem.
This is not a drill. The attack on Pearl. They were the ghost planes of the night, deadly, illusive, sharp-clawed Black Cats. The Memoirs of ARM H.P. Lawrence, a Pearl Harbor survivor, Black Cat, and decorated war veteran.
A passionate and poignant memoir written by a woman whose life has been guided by the words: "I am here to learn how to love well." The book is a deep examination of relationships, family, motivation, and honoring of the Self.
(Richard M. Feldman) Ever since I was a young boy, the only thing I wanted to be was a cowboy. I wanted to own and work on a real ranch, with cattle and horses. Especially horses.
While I never became a cowboy, considering everything I have done
I always love to read thses ones...
In Spirit,
Bear
