That’s Life

Life doesn’t always smile,
sometimes it only watches in silence,
it lets you fall so you can learn
that getting back up is also a talent.
Not every dream comes true,
not every promise stays,
there are hugs that last only seconds
and absences that last a lifetime.
Life teaches with hard blows,
it doesn’t ask if you’re ready,
it takes away what you love most
to show you what still lives inside you.
There are days of bread and hope,
and nights of fear and pain,
but even in the middle of tears
the heart learns to be stronger than fear.
Life is not fair, it is real,
you don’t live to always win,
you live to keep walking forward
even when the soul sometimes trembles.
