Some Things In Life.

Goldfinch60



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.

    Good write Gold.
    Its a better way of saying it, than 'put up with it', though we have to 'bear' or 'carry' some things, as you say.
    Maybe the saying fits in somehow: 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. Pity I did not do that in 1066.

          You are absolutely right! We could develop a kind of psychological coping muscles as a result of our chronic life-long burdens and hardships. These coping muscles can make these unchangeable obstacles seem less severe and more tolerable.

            So true Samer as we get older we can cope with things much easier.
