Life Continues
There is good to be found in all your situations
So you’ve got to make the best of all these occasions
Know that difficult times can be your best teacher
They can become lessons that all your life you will treasure
So take a few minutes… distract yourself from your concerns
For, from these situations precious lessons you can learn
And as you learn and blossom, as you grow strong in faith
Mature in understanding, and you relinquish hate
Remember to reach for the good, stand firm and don’t ever give up
Because life continues around us… living never stops
And though your troubles may all seem to mount and stop time
And for a moment it seems you can’t find peace of mind
Know that there is good in life even today
And that peace of mind is never too far away
So just take a few moments to draw strength from the trees
Find pleasure in a bird’s song or just sway in the breeze
Life is a series of levels, cycles of ups and downs
Some easy, some challenging, some funny as circus clowns
Life is what you make it so don’t forget to wear a smile
Have faith you’re going to make it though it may take a while
Don’t ever lose your sense of humor and never succumb to fear
Don’t say die before you do because you won’t have a prayer
