The circus called life

The circus called life is a
Long, long voyage,
You must leave an indelible mark
ON history's page.

The aim of this circus
Is maximise learning,
It teaches you to listen to your heart
And not leave it burning.

There are some times
When your heart wants to stop beating,
And also such times
When you can go about happily
bleating.

There are at times
Great tidings of joy and sorrow,
You can ever predict
What is gonna happen tomorrow.

In this circus called life
You must never loose hope.
NO matter what happens
Hold on tightly to the rope.

You must understand
The difference between the good and the bad,
Learn to rejoice in your happiness
And console yourself when sad.

You must always
Give life your very best.
Learn to trust yourself
And leave unto God the rest.
