In our lives we find ourselves challenged,
Each turn in the path,
Each door we need to open
Give us a different way to the norm,
The norm we have been travelling.
Some are so wonderful
They take us into a brighter time,
A brighter and better time.
Some just lead us to a path
We already know,
And make our resolution stronger.
We often come across obstacles
And we learn to overcome those
Thus increasing our experience,
So our coping with life eases for the future.
But some we cannot fix
No matter how we try.
Those we carry with us
With the hope that one day
Our increasing experience will help,
Help to overcome these problems.
Then there are those that cannot be fixed,
Cannot be fixed at all
And they remain a burden,
A burden we carry for life.
But as each day passes we get stronger
And that burden becomes easier,
Easier to carry with us.
