Life's Problems...

A sea of problems...

Life's Problems...

You know the deal, life always throwing something at me
always something to distract me,

If it's not one thing it's another
I understand how people's minds get stuck
in the gutter,

But I'm not like other people you see
being knocked of my horse is drag
but giving up is not okay with me,

Quitting NEVER, I'll figure these problems out
I know I'm clever,

It would have to be death for me to call it quits
I'll do anything to prevail that life permits,
Whatever I have to do to figure these problems
out no doubt,

No time for standing around of finding a reason to pout
no reason to get angry and shout, time to jump
back on the house and figure this stuff out,

It's not how many times you get knocked down
a measure of a man is how many times you get up
and ride that horse into the sun with your head held
high and your chin up,

So here I go trotting away on my horse dropping
life's problems 1 by 1 of course and if stuff gets
to hot in the kitchen , I'll ask God for help I know
he's always listen...

Author's Note

Real men love Jesus!
and real men never quit...
All glory and honor belongs to God!

Not just men James but women too. We also have troubles to overcome, black marks in our pasts we wish to forget and wash away. Admitting it is hard sometimes. No one is perfect, only Jesus. Just be thankful to be washed clean and being a child of God. Kathie

The more you get up from your falls, the easier it becomes each time. And then you don't have to think twice anymore whether to lay there defeated or to try one more time.
