Blessings are many
With troubles galore
Deciphering the difference
Is not much of a chore.

Sadly, secret murky tiled
No hope, destitute merciless bile
Twist, turn fight and bat
Get to where the strength is at
Mess, mired deep down in
No way open can’t begin
Mutter, sputter rage and fume
Makes no difference
The rose still blooms.

We are here to live a life that has been given to us. To do the best we can and make the world a better place because of our existence. Never doubt that you do make a difference.
