Complicated and frustrated
Life sometimes feels overrated
As we age and thus mature
There’s little chance we may defer
The parts that bring us flap and fuss
To learn to handle is a must
And yet there is no tip to tell
It’s not as if there’s manual
That gets us to point A to Z
With intact sanity and head
But if there is one thing I’ve learned
As pot boils over and skin is burned
It does us well to keep perspective
Some fortitude is quite effective
Each day is filled with good and bad
A thousand trials to be had
Are faced, confronted, conquered, won
Then satisfied is day, when done
For dawn, in faith, shall break anew
And to occasion, you rise too
And though crowned not a Queen or King
We shall not sweat those little things
Say little prayer to stave the curse
That things could always be much worse…
