Life's a Struggle

Life’s a Struggle
Susie E. Caron  © 3/19/16

It’s a struggle to be nice
Calm, peaceful, serene
When all the world about you
Seems bent on being mean

It’s a struggle to be myself
When I’m often told I'm not
And others look right past me
Without a caring thought
Life’s a struggle
We all know it
But it’s worth it
You must know
And I hope to touch your heart once
Or maybe twice, before I go.

I am with you in this struggle
And see every effort that you make
I’m walking right beside you
And know every breath you take

I will help you in your struggles
See you through each and every one
I will hold you in my arms Dear
As each struggling day is done

And when your time is over
For struggling on this Earth
I will bring you safe to Heaven
To the Home of your new birth.

Where all your struggling ceases
And New Songs we shall sing
In Praises to our Savior
Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
