Life

Life, I don't know what you are

A game - I played wrongly;

A gift - I didn't much care;

A curse given badly;

Or a nightmare.

Each year is a challenge.

Each day, a herculean task.

You seem to be His revenge.

Is it so? I want to ask.

But I'm determined to bring a change,

If you are a game, I'll fight to win,

If a gift, I will strive to gain,

If a curse, I'm ready to take the pain.

If a nightmare, I'm ready to dare.

Each year's challenge I'll bravely embrace,

Each day's task I'll courageously face,

And then, I know you are His finest Grace.
