Life is Bittersweet

Rising up to meet a brand new day
Is something that will not forever stay
We may be waking up today, yet still unsure to see tomorrow
So it is best to laugh aloud now before we die in sorrow

We aspire for all the good things in life
But life is imperfect and we cannot avoid strife
When sufferings assail us, we call on God
For He is our hope, our only life blood

Let us remain contented of what we have
Learn to understand and begin to love
Let us have faith in ourselves and in our neighbor
For a tranquil harvest of the fruits of our labor

Let us try not to seek of what is not there
Instead, embrace what we get and acknowledge that life is not at all times fair
And no matter of the umpteen storms we will meet
Stay calm, have courage and accept that life is bittersweet
