To the corners of life I walk
Some roads are long and tiring
Others short and interesting
I gather in all that surrounds me
Piecing all the pieces together
To make sense of the puzzle
Each day is a new one
I try not to carry yesterday's
Burdens into today
With each new year I hope
That I achieve all that I can
From childhood to adulthood
The learning curve is long
Like a beautiful rainbow
Along the way there is heartache
Troubles, fears and disillusion
But they all mould you
You become today, what life
Threw at you yesterday
