(This is a fictional poem) <br /> <br />You're standing on this ledge and you're threatening to jump. <br />You lost your six figure salary job and now you live in a dump. <br />But we all have to face bad breaks in life. <br />If you jump, you'll hurt your children and your wife. <br />You're hurting and you don't want to live anymore. <br />But you have a family who loves you and that alone is worth living for. <br />Give life a chance, I'm sure things will get better for you. <br />If you jump, it will hurt me too. <br />What happened to you was bad. <br />But now you're coming back in the building and I'm glad.<br /><br />Randy Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/give-life-a-chance/
