Life is Hard

I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a woman could want to do
I could never see tomorrow,
but I was never told about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?

How can you mend this broken woman?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

Life can be so relentless sometimes. Illness, divorce, economic ruin, death...it marches on whether we are prepared or not. You wonder sometimes why really good people can have such a raw deal and the only answer is....there is no answer...it's life. Who ever believed that if they did everything right life would be easy hasn't been living. We have been served a dream on a platter, be good and goodness happens, work at what you love and you'll always be rich, marry for love and you'll always be in love, go to college and you'll always have a job.

The reality is life is not predictable. Life is not fair. Life is hard. So how to survive life? Link one arm around another, clasp someones hand, lay your head on someones shoulder, cry out loud and a friend will cry with you. Share your gifts and others will share with you when you do not have any.

Bottom line, this life is hard and fabulous at the same time...we just need each other. It is soooo worth living, loving, sharing and crying...it is, what it is and every moment good or bad is life.
