I wrote this a few years back. A poem of day to day struggle and strength.
 
        Game of life

It occured to me the other day,
that nothing stays the same.
Life is always moving on,
a forever changing game.

The rules are never set,
sometimes they are not fair.
Somedays are filled with happiness,
somedays you feel despair.

How do we keep on battling,
Is it faith that keeps us strong?
Even days that seem too hard,
you drag yourself along.

Yet there are days you feel so drained,
your whole life's got you down.
Days you try to stay afloat,
but all you do is drown.

You wish someone would pick you up
and carry you away.
Or turn the hands upon the clock,
to start a brand new day.

But someone wise once told me,
if we never feel the pain,
we would not know what joy is,
would not know what we have gained.

So give us strength to see us through,
some courage for when in strife,
a little patience wont go astray,
to play this game of life.
