When I was young boy I was very happy. <br />I knew little sorrow, mostly joy. <br />Life was just a simple game, <br />And I was an innocent child. <br />It is the reality of the situation, <br />Overcoming doubt and uncertainty. <br />Now that I know what I must face in life, <br />I will live it with dignity and grace. <br />I am doing my best to become a man. <br />Weaving through life's complicated maze <br />Without it leaving me in a fog. <br />I can make it if I put in the effort, <br />Even if there are times when I will just get by. <br />I will earn my wings, <br />By facing each challenge that life throws at me. <br />Someday I will find peace of mind <br />When I realize that life is not so cruel. <br />I will see that what seems bad is really good, <br />And that things work out for the best.<br /><br />Jeff Fleischer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-is-the-reality-of-the-situation/
